Abstract

A coated implantable medical device is described, wherein the coating comprises a coating matrix and particles of one or more molecular sieves, preferably zeolite of zeogrid particles, optionally loaded with one or more bioactive agents. The coating matrix itself can function as a second drug-carrying interface. The coating comprising the molecular sieve material has an excellent biocompatibility and allows suitable drug delivery into the body of an animal, preferably a mammal and most preferably a human.
