Abstract

Primer coatings for implantable devices or endoluminal prosthesis, such as stents, are provided, including a method of forming the coatings. The primer coatings can include a material with a high content of hydrogen bonding groups, such as some types of epoxy polymers and melamine formaldehydes. Coatings subsequently disposed over the primer coating can be used for the delivery of an active ingredient or a combination of active ingredients.
