An elongate elastomeric structure having controlled surface texture. Plasma deposition is used to create controlled features, such as ridges, on the external surface of an elongate elastomeric surface, such as the external surface of silicone tubing. The invention has particular applicability in the medical device field, such as the fabrication of implantable leads, catheters, and medical devices incorporating them.

Une structure élastomère allongée ayant la texture de gouverne. Le dépôt de plasma est employé pour créer les dispositifs commandés, tels que des arêtes, sur la surface externe d'une surface élastomère allongée, telle que la surface externe de la tuyauterie de silicone. L'invention a l'applicabilité particulière dans le gisement médical de dispositif, tel que la fabrication des fils implantables, des cathéters, et des dispositifs médicaux les incorporant.
