  • MEDICAL DEVICES CONTAINING SHAPE MEMORY POLYMER COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20140309691
    Abstract: The present invention relates at least in part to surgical devices which comprise a shape memory polymer material composition. Particularly, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to a fixation device e.g. an anchor device e.g. a suture anchor which comprises a shape memory material. Included in the present invention are anchor devices e.g. suture anchors which are formed entirely of a shape memory polymer material. Embodiments of the present invention comprise hybrid suture anchors, particularly suture anchors which are formed from a shape memory polymer material and a non-shape memory material. Methods of securing an anchor in a bone or tissue are also included in the present invention.

  • BONE PUTTY
    Publication number: 20140128990
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a macroporous material for filling bone voids. In particular, we describe an implant material comprising bioresorbable polymer granules and a biocompatible water-miscible solvent, wherein the solvent at least partially dissolves and/or softens the polymer granules to form a mouldable mass that can be used to fill a bone defect but hardens when water is added and/or the implant material is placed in an aqueous environment, and wherein the implant material has macroporosity suitable for bone in-growth.
