In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided for applying a coating to a medical device (34) having an accessible patterned surface. The application device includes: a processor (32), an instrument support (35), and a solenoid type fluid dispensing head (31) with an electromagnetically controlled valve. In the application device, the instrument support (35) is adapted to hold the medical instrument (34) and is directly applied to the accessible patterned surface of the medical instrument (34). Provide access. A solenoid type fluid dispensing head (31) in the applicator moves to the medical instrument (34), is in fluid communication with the coating source (33) and is in communication with the processor (32). The processor (32) in the applicator includes a command, which indicates that the solenoid-type fluid dispensing head (31) is placed on the accessible patterned surface of the medical device (34) and the medical device It is commanded to eject the coating in a pattern associated with the accessible surface. |
