Publication number: 20230381382Abstract: The invention relates to biodegradable, magnesium alloys, compositions and composites, methods for their preparation and applications for their use as implantable medical devices in load-bearing conditions. The magnesium alloys are composed of alloying elements selected from yttrium, calcium, zirconium, zinc, and strontium, with the remainder being magnesium and impurities arising due to production, and preparation of the alloy by melting together the elements and casting the resulting melted mixture. In certain embodiments, the methods of preparation include solution treatment and hot extrusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH - OF THE COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATIONInventors: PRASHANT N. KUMTA, ABHIJIT ROY, DA-TREN CHOU, DAEHO HONG, VIJAY S. GORANTLA

Publication number: 20230211053Abstract: The invention relates to biodegradable iron alloy-containing compositions for use in preparing medical devices. In addition, biodegradable crystalline and amorphous compositions of the invention exhibit properties that make them suitable for use as medical devices for implantation into a body of a patient. The compositions include elemental iron and one or more elements selected from manganese, magnesium, zirconium, zinc and calcium. The compositions can be prepared using a high energy milling technique. The resulting compositions and the devices formed therefrom are useful in various surgical procedures, such as but not limited to orthopedic, craniofacial and cardiovascular.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH - OF THE COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATIONInventors: PRASHANT N.

Patent number: 11376349Abstract: Biodegradable compositions containing from 10.0 to 95.0 weight percent iron for use in preparing medical devices. These biodegradable compositions exhibit properties that make them suitable for use as medical devices for implantation into a body of a patient. The compositions also include one or more elements selected from manganese, magnesium, zirconium, zinc and calcium. The compositions can be prepared using a high energy milling technique and high energy mechanical alloying followed by compaction and sintering, film deposition techniques, such as, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), as well as melting, casting, homogenization and extrusion methods. The resulting compositions and the medical devices formed therefrom are useful in various surgical procedures, such as but not limited to orthopedic, craniofacial and cardiovascular.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH—OF THE COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATIONInventors: Prashant N.
