"Anti-Thrombogenic Medical Devices And Methods" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240189121).

This patent application discusses the development of medical devices, specifically stents, with reduced thrombogenicity to treat aneurysms. The inventors propose using an expandable tubular body made of braided filaments containing metals such as platinum, cobalt, chromium, nickel, or their alloys, with an outer surface coated in phosphorylcholine. The phosphorylcholine coating is less than 100 nanometers thick and aims to reduce the formation of blood clots. The application also mentions methods and systems for treating aneurysms using these devices. [Extracted from the article]
