A method, a kit, and an apparatus provide a coating on an implantable
medical device. The apparatus includes housing, a sealed reservoir
chamber disposed in the housing, a reducing template, and a reservoir
access port. The sealed reservoir contains the coating material. The
reducing template is sized to receive a medical device therethrough for
application of the coating material. A seal breaching mechanism can be
provided and adapted to breach the sealed reservoir upon activation of
the apparatus. The reservoir access port, which is disposed in the
housing, is adapted to fluidly couple the reducing template with the
reservoir chamber upon activation of the apparatus for coating the
medical device.
