Patent ID: 7959942

Claim:
An implantable medical device, comprising a crystallized bioabsorbable polymer scaffold and a coating; said crystallized bioabsorbable polymer scaffold comprising, at least about 70% (w/w) of a base polymer comprising a poly (L-lactide) moiety, and/or a poly (D-lactide) moiety, and/or poly L-lactide-co-PEG moiety, and/or poly D-lactide-co PEG moiety, linked with a modifying copolymer comprising poly (L-lactide-co-Tri-methylene-carbonate) or poly (D-lactide-co-tri-methylene-carbonate) or poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) or poly (D-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) in the form of block copolymers or blocky random copolymers; and said coating comprising a bioabsorbable matrix and a ligand.
