A method for providing a medical apparatus with a protective surface coating is described. The method comprises applying to a medical apparatus a coating solution that contains a matrix polymer such as a urethane, and a reinforcing agent such as lamellar platelet and fiber additives, as micaceous pigments, flake pigments, tungsten powder and glass fiber, to increase the resistance of the medical apparatus to injury, such that the surface coating forms a protective, scratch- and puncture-resistant layer on the medical apparatus. The particles or fibers of the reinforcing agent may be oriented to provide the medical apparatus with additional resistance to injury. The coating is well suited to provide balloon catheters, particularly PET balloons, and the like with the toughness desirable for use in stent delivery and placement.

L'invention concerne un procédé de revêtement d'un instrument médical avec une surface de protection. Ce procédé consiste à appliquer à l'instrument médical une solution de revêtement contenant un polymère matriciel, tel qu'un uréthane, ainsi qu'un agent de renforcement tel que des additifs à base de fibres et de plaquettes lamellaires, sous forme de pigments micacés, de pigments lamellaires, de poudre de tungstène et de fibres de verre, afin d'augmenter la résistance de l'instrument médical aux agressions, de sorte que le revêtement de surface constitue une couche protectrice résistante aux rayures et aux perforations. Les particules ou les fibres de l'agent de renforcement peuvent être orientées afin de conférer à l'instrument médical une résistance supplémentaires aux agressions. Ce revêtement est bien adapté pour conférer à des cathéters à ballonnet, notamment des ballonnet PET, et analogue une résistance souhaitable pour une utilisation pour l'apport et la mise en place d'une prothèse endovasculaire.
