This disclosure provides design, material, preparation methods, and use alternatives for medical devices. An example method of preparing a stent comprises applying a coating to a portion of the stent at a medical treatment facility, the coating including a plurality of radioactive elements and a substrate. The plurality of radioactive elements are mixed with the substrate to form a mixture such that the plurality of radioactive elements are dispersed within the substrate prior to the coating being applied on the stent.

The present invention relates to recipient customization of a bone conducting hearing device. Customization of the bone conducting hearing device may include attaching the bone conducting hearing device to a recipient, establishing communication between the hearing device and an external device, generating at least one control setting with the external device, and storing the at least one control setting in a memory device in the hearing device.
