Abstract: An animal bathing assembly includes a housing that may have an animal placed therein. A washing unit is coupled to the housing. The washing unit dispenses a fluid onto the animal when the animal is positioned within the housing. A plurality of scrubbing units is provided an each of the scrubbing units is coupled to the housing. Each of the scrubbing unit scrubs the animal when the animal is positioned within the housing. A drying unit is coupled to the housing. The drying unit urges air onto the animal thereby facilitating the animal to be dried. A control is coupled to the housing and the control may be manipulated. The control is electrically coupled to the washing unit, the scrubbing unit and the drying unit. The control controls operational parameters of the washing unit, the scrubbing unit and the drying unit.

Abstract: A composite material including ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in conjunction with a biologically active agent is described. The biologically active agent can be, for example, an anti-osteolytic agent such as a bisphosphonate. The composite material can be utilized in forming implants such as total joint replacement implants. The biologically active agent can be released from the composite material either from the bulk or from wear particles released from the surface of the implant component during use. Upon release, the biologically active agent can carry out the intended function of the agent.
