Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to polyacrylic acid containing lubricious coatings for medical devices. In an embodiment, a lubricious coated medical device is included having a substrate and a first layer disposed over the substrate. The first layer can include a photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone, a non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone, and a crosslinking compound. A second layer can be disposed over the first layer, the second layer can include a poly(acrylic acid), and a non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone. The non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone of the second layer forms a complex with the poly(acrylic acid) of the second layer. The non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone of the second layer has a concentration existing as a gradient through a thickness of the second layer with a lower concentration at an outer surface of the second layer than at an inner surface of the second layer. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Claims (50)

1. A lubricious coated medical device comprising:

a substrate; and

a first layer, wherein the first layer is disposed over the substrate, the first layer comprising

a photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a first non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a second non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone; and

a crosslinking compound;

a second layer, wherein the second layer is disposed over the first layer, the second layer comprising

a poly(acrylic acid); and

a third non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone.

2. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a thickness of 100 to 4000 nm.

3. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the second layer has a thickness of less than 100 nm.

4. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , further comprising a third layer;

wherein the third layer includes the same components as the first layer; and

wherein the third layer is disposed between the first layer and the second layer.

5. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth layer;

wherein the fourth layer includes the same components as the second layer; and

wherein the fourth layer is disposed over the second layer.

6. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , the crosslinking compound comprising bis(4-benzoylpheny) phosphate of a salt thereof.

7. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , the crosslinking compound comprising sodium bis(4-benzoylpheny) phosphate.

8. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is disposed directly on the first layer.

9. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , the photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone comprising poly[vinyl pyrrolidone-co-N-(3-(4-benzoylbenzamideo) propyl) methacrylamide].

10. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the lubricious coated medical device is a lubricious coated coronary or peripheral vasculature medical device.

11. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the first non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone has an average molecular weight of 1000 kDa to 4000 kDa.

12. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the second non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone has an average molecular weight of 30 to 70 kDa.

13. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 1 , wherein the third non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone has an average molecular weight of 3 kDa to 8 kDa.

14. A lubricious coated medical device comprising:

a substrate; and

a first layer, wherein the first layer is disposed over the substrate, the first layer comprising

a photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a first non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a second non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a third non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone; and

a crosslinking compound;

a second layer, wherein the second layer is disposed over the first layer, the second layer comprising

a poly(acrylic acid);

a second photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a fourth non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone;

a fifth non-photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone; and

a second cross-linking compound.

15. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , wherein the first layer has a thickness of 100 to 4000 nm.

16. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , wherein the second layer has a thickness of less than 100 nm.

17. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , further comprising a third layer;

wherein the third layer includes the same components as the first layer; and

wherein the third layer is disposed between the first layer and the second layer.

18. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , further comprising a fourth layer;

wherein the fourth layer includes the same components as the second layer; and

wherein the fourth layer is disposed over the second layer.

19. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , the crosslinking compound comprising bis(4-benzoylpheny) phosphate of a salt thereof.

20. The lubricious coated medical device of claim 14 , the photoreactive polyvinylpyrrolidone comprising poly[vinyl pyrrolidone-co-N-(3-(4-benzoylbenzamideo) propyl) methacrylamide].
