The present invention includes biocompatible polymeric coatings,
membranes, matrices, and films to be used with implantable medical
devices. Medical devices containing such materials applied to a surface
thereof contain a film-forming fluorous homo-polymer or copolymer
containing the polymerized residue of a fluorous moiety, wherein the
relative amounts of the polymerized residues of one or more moieties are
effective to provide the coating and films with properties effective for
use in coating implantable med devices.
