Abstract

A method of reducing coating defects is provided. A non-contact coating system is provided that includes a high-powered magnet (16) adapted to suspend an object (12) and an arrangement for creating a coating mist (18) in a suspension zone of the magnet (20). A method is provided for holding a device during a coating process. The method includes applying a magnetic field to the device and contacting a coating material with the device. The magnetic field causes the device to be suspended in a coating zone. A medical appliance is provided having a coating applied by a method. The method includes positioning the medical appliance in a coating zone; suspending the medical appliance in the coating zone by applying a magnetic field; and contacting the medical appliance with the coating.
