  • POLYMERS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20250066607
    Abstract: Porous and microporous parts prepared by additive manufacturing as disclosed herein are useful in medical and non-medical applications. The parts are prepared from a composition containing both a solvent soluble component and a solvent insoluble component. After a part is printed by an additive manufacturing process it is exposed to solvent to extract solvent soluble component away from the printed part, resulting in a part having surface cavities.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 5, 2024
    Publication date: February 27, 2025
    Inventors: Michael Scott Taylor, James Hyde, Brian Gaerke, Brad Johns, Michael Aaron Vaughn, Seth Dylan McCullen, David Gravett
  • Polymers for additive manufacturing
    Patent number: 12163022
    Abstract: Porous and microporous parts prepared by additive manufacturing as disclosed herein are useful in medical and non-medical applications. The parts are prepared from a composition containing both a solvent soluble component and a solvent insoluble component. After a part is printed by an additive manufacturing process it is exposed to solvent to extract solvent soluble component away front the printed part, resulting in a part having surface cavities.

  • TUBULAR IMPLANTS WITH CONTROLLED BIODEGRADATION
    Publication number: 20240293217
    Abstract: Implantable medical devices have zones of high in vivo stability that are adjacent to zones of relatively low in vivo stability, so that when these medical devices are implanted into a host, the zones of low in vivo stability degrade first and allow the formation of independent segments of relatively intact high in vivo stability bands that are sufficiently small that they may pass from the host in a non-harmful manner.
