the solution comprises for example 9 parts high purity acetone or isopropanol and 1 part magnesium stearate the immersion procedure occurs at room temperature in an evacuatable desiccator in which a negative pressure of ca 100 mbar is generated by means of a pump as a result of this the filigree microporous surface structures originating from the preceding plasmachemical pretreatment or the undercuts and intricately formed structures are effectively freed of residual gas complete covering of the stent surface by magnesium stearate can occur as a result in the solution which also penetrates the surface structures and undercuts after a dwell time of approximately 3 minutes in the immersion bath the desiccator is ventilated the implant is removed from the immersion bath and then dried at a temperature of 60 u00b0 c in a recirculation cabinet while suspended on the synthetic thread the layer density of the resulting magnesium stearate coating is in the vicinity of approximately 0 5 to approximately 10 u03bcm the magnesium stearate is isolated very uniformly on the surface contingent on the negative pressure present in the desiccator a low drying temperature advantageously causes slow release evaporation of the solvent of the dipping solution producing a pore free magnesium stearate layer if the resulting implant is a stent the body provided with the first layer and the intermediate layer can.
