Polymers of fluorinated monomers and hydrocarbon monomers
First Claim
1. A biocompatible polymer comprising fluorinated monomers and hydrocarbon monomers, wherein the fluorinated monomers form about 25.01 mole % to about 99.99 mole % repeating units of the polymer, and wherein the hydrocarbon monomers form about 74.99 mole % to about 0.01 mole % repeating units of the polymer.

Abstract
A polymer of fluorinated monomers and hydrocarbon monomers is provided. It is also provided a polymer blend that contains a polymer formed of fluorinated monomers and hydrocarbon monomers and another biocompatible polymer. The polymer or polymer blend described herein and optionally a bioactive agent can form an implantable device such as a stent or a coating on an implantable device such as a drug-delivery stent, which 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.
