Abstract
Techniques are provided for controlling delivery of a therapeutic coating to a medical implant device. An identifier of the medical implant device may be received. It may be determined, based at least in part on the first identifier, that the first medical implant device is approved to receive the therapeutic coating. A coating applicator system may be switched from a locked state in which it is prohibited from applying the therapeutic coating to an unlocked state in which it is permitted to apply the therapeutic coating. The coating applicator system may, while in the unlocked state, apply the therapeutic coating to the first medical implant device. After the applying of the therapeutic coating, the coating applicator system may be switched from the unlocked state back to the locked state.
