A polymer of siloxanes as flexibility monomers and strength monomers is
provided. It is also provided a polymer blend that contains a polymer
formed of siloxane monomers and strength monomers and another
biocompatible polymer. The biocompatible polymer or polymer blend
described herein and optionally a bioactive agent can form a coating on
an implantable device such as a drug-delivery stent. The implantable
device can be used for treating or preventing a disorder such as
atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection
or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total
occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation for vein and
artificial grafts, bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor
obstruction, or combinations thereof.
