Coat Drug-eluting Balloon

Coat Drug-eluting Balloon – Ultrasonic Spray Coater – Cheersonic

A drug-eluting balloon is a non-stent technology in which the vessel wall recieves the effective homogenous delivery of antiproliferative drugs from an inflated balloon. It is done to restore the luminal vascularity to treat atherosclerosis, in-stent restenosis, and reduce the risk of late-thrombosis without implanting a permanent object. The balloon technology relies on the concept of targeted drug delivery, which helps in rapid healing of the vessel wall and prevents the proliferation of smooth muscle cells.

Ultrasonic Balloon Catheter Coating System is suited to coating high pressure medical balloons with drug eluting polymers such as Paclitaxel and other bioabsorbable drugs for dilation procedures including coronary angioplasty or stent delivery applications.

The Balloon Catheter Coating System is a fully enclosed, sealed glovebox unit designed to coat common sizes and types of balloon catheters using Cheersonic ultrasonic nozzles combined with our UAM7000 precision air shaping systems. The spray pattern diameter and drop size are variable, depending upon the nozzle and air shaping system used. A proprietary holding device secures both ends of the catheter while rotational motors spin the catheter for 360Ocoverage of the entire balloon surface. The ultrasonic nozzle traverses across the catheter as required to coat desired lengths. The system includes controls for air flow rate, air pressure as well as continuous digital metering of humidity and temperature.
