providing the balloon, wherein the balloon has an outer surface;
providing a solution comprising a solvent and a polymer dissolved in the solution; and
depositing the polymer onto the surface from the solution to form a surface coating of the polymer on the surface of the balloon, wherein the solvent and polymer are selected such that fibrous particles are deposited on the surface in gel-like form, and the particles undergo a loss of volume due to the drying after application and due to suctioning or solvent-withdrawing action of the balloon surface.
