Pannus-resisting implantable medical devices comprise one or more
antimicrobial reservoirs, each such reservoir incorporating antimicrobial
substances in predetermined distributions for timed release in vivo.
Predetermined distributions of antimicrobial substances incorporated in
antimicrobial reservoirs are achieved through use of fluid solvent
carriers, which may comprise supercritical fluid solvents. Precipitation
of antimicrobial substances from such solvent carriers in predetermined
distributions is accomplished through evaporation and/or application of
heating, cooling or decreased ambient pressure to the solvent carriers.
