Patent ID: 7604818

Claim:
An implantable device having a biocompatible coating thereon, wherein the biocompatible coating comprises a random biocompatible polymer comprising fluorinated monomers and hydrocarbon monomers, wherein the hydrocarbon monomers are CHR═CH 2 in which R is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, substituted phenyl, cyclic alkyl, heterocyclic alkyl, and heteroaryl, or CR 2 ═CH 2 in which R is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, short chain alkyl groups, phenyl, substituted phenyl, cyclic alkyl, heterocyclic alkyl, and heteroaryl, wherein the fluorinated monomers form about 25.01 mole % to about 99.99 mole % repeating units of the polymer, and wherein the hydrocarbon monomers form about 74.99 mole % to about 0.01 mole % repeating units of the polymer.
