Abstract:
Methods and treatments for removing contaminants from nanotube surfaces covering a medical device are disclosed herein. These methods and treatments include commencing exposure of a nanotube surface to at least one condition that at least partially removes the contaminants including: ultraviolet light, elevated temperature, plasma, and/or combinations thereof. These methods and treatments may also include orienting the nanotube surface relative to the at least one condition in order to enhance removal of the contaminants by the at least one condition. Exposure of the nanotube surface to the at least one condition may be ceased after the contaminants are at least partially removed from the nanotube surface.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7  wherein at least part of the nanostructured surface further comprises at least one coating selected from:\n a coating comprising hydroxyapatite, the coating comprising hydroxyapatite having a thickness of at least 2 nm; \n a coating comprising calcium; \n a coating comprising potassium; \n a coating comprising Ta; \n a coating comprising Ta-oxide; \n a coating comprising at least one biological agent, wherein the coating comprising the at least one biological agent is at least partially present on the plurality of inner nanotube surfaces; \n a coating comprising at least one catalyst, wherein the coating comprising the at least one catalyst is at least partially present on the plurality of inner nanotube surfaces; \n a coating comprising at least one cell-growth-stimulating agent, wherein the coating comprising the at least one cell-growth-stimulating agent is at least partially present on the plurality of inner nanotube surfaces; and \n a coating comprising at least one antibiotic, wherein the coating comprising the at least one antibiotic is at least partially present on the plurality of inner nanotube surfaces.
