(57) Abstract: Medical devices, polymer compositions and methods for delivering a substantially water-insoluble drug to a tissue at a desired location in the body. A polymer coating is disposed on at least a portion of the outer surface of the medical device. During the polymer coating, a solution of at least one substantially water-insoluble drug in a volatile organic solvent is incorporated. The medical device is placed at a desired target location within the body, where the drug diffuses out of the polymer coating. |
