  • Patent number: 9050391
    Abstract: The invention relates to an implant, e.g. a stent, bone replacement material, a prosthesis, a scaffold or similar, which comprises a coating at least in those surface areas that come into contact with hard and/or soft tissue when implanted. To ensure that the active ingredient contained in the coating (bisphosphonate) is released into the surrounding tissue or can act in the latter in a controlled manner at the correct speed, the coating is characterized in that it contains bisphosphonate, the respective pharmaceutically compatible salts or esters of the latter, in addition to at least one amphiphilic component, selected from the group containing branched or linear, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or partially unsaturated C10-C30 alkyl-, alkenyl, alkylaryl-, aryl-, cycloalkyl-, alkylcycloalkyl-, alkylcycloaryl-carboxylates, -phosphates or -sulfates or mixtures thereof and/or a water-soluble ionic polymer component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2015
    Assignee: NEXILIS AG
    Inventors: Falko Schlottig, Matthias Schnabelrauch, Armin Rex Kautz
  • Patent number: 8940320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dental implant, which comprises a coating at least in those surface areas that come into contact with hard and/or soft tissue when implanted. To ensure that the active ingredient contained in the coating (bisphosphonate) is released into the surrounding tissue or can act in the latter in a controlled manner at the correct speed, the coating is characterized in that it contains bisphosphonate, the respective pharmaceutically compatible salts or esters of the latter, in addition to at least one amphiphilic component, selected from the group containing branched or linear, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or partially unsaturated C10-C30 alkyl-, alkenyl, alkylaryl-, aryl-, cycloalkyl-, alkylcycloalkyl-, alkylcycloaryl-carboxylates, -phosphates or -sulfates or mixtures thereof and/or a water-soluble ionic polymer component.

  • Patent number: 8414958
    Abstract: What is described is an implant that comprises a coating, at least in areas, in the implanted state in the surface areas that are at least directly in contact with skin and/or soft tissue. The implant is preferably characterized in that the coating comprises both a statin, such as simvastatin, in the hydrolyzed or unhydrolyzed form, or pharmaceutically compatible salts thereof, as well as at least one other component selected from the group consisting of branched or linear, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or partially unsaturated C10-C30 alkyl, alkenyl, alkylaryl, aryl, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, alkylcycloaryl amines or mixtures thereof and/or at least one water-soluble ionic polymer component. A method for production such an implant is also described as well as a composition that can be used in such a method.

  • Publication number: 20090130177
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dental implant, which comprises a coating at least in those surface areas that come into contact with hard and/or soft tissue when implanted. To ensure that the active ingredient contained in the coating (bisphosphonate) is released into the surrounding tissue or can act in the latter in a controlled manner at the correct speed, the coating is characterised in that it contains bisphosphonate, the respective pharmaceutically compatible salts or esters of the latter, in addition to at least one amphiphilic component, selected from the group containing branched or linear, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or partially unsaturated C10-C30 alkyl-, alkenyl, alkylaryl-, aryl-, cycloalkyl-, alkylcycloalkyl-, alkylcycloaryl-carboxylates, -phosphates or -sulfates or mixtures thereof and/or a water-soluble ionic polymer component.
