  • Publication number: 20220175513
    Abstract: A method forms an implant with a base body made of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy. The methods make magnesium alloy that contains a plurality of statistically distributed particles, with one or more of the elements Y, Zr, Mn, Sc, Fe, Ni, Co, W, Pt and noble earths with the atomic numbers 57 to 71, or the particles comprise alloys or compounds containing one or more of the elements mentioned. The mean distance of the particles from each other is smaller than the hundredfold mean particle diameter.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10413740
    Abstract: A method for producing a feedthrough component of a medical electronic device, in particular an implantable device, wherein a feedthrough main body, in particular made of ceramic, is produced and is provided over a large area with a metal coating, and the metal coating is then structured, wherein the structuring is performed by at least partially removing the metal coating in layers in a number of sub-steps by means of a processing laser.
