A drug-delivering medical device for delivering a drug to a target site in a human body is disclosed. The drug-delivering medical device may have a hydrophilic surface, with one or more portions of the hydrophilic surface coated with one or more nano-carriers bearing one or more drugs. Each nano-carrier may include a drug surrounded by an encapsulating medium. As the drug is surrounded by the encapsulating medium, the surface of each nano-carrier can be devoid of the respective drug. A non-implantable medical device coated with nano-carriers can deliver one or more drugs to a blood vessel, organ cavity, sac, capsule, lining, layer, coating, membrane, connective tissue, fluid surrounding an organ, and so forth.
