Doo-Hoon Sun has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9895229
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing an implant that is to be surgically inserted in vivo, such as in an artificial knee or artificial hip. According to the method, the porous layer contains pores that have a vertically curved shape with a radius of 100 to 300 ?m, thus allowing a bond to grow into the pores to enhance bond adhesion, and an interconnection space is formed between turning points in adjacent unit base layers to increase the ratio of interconnection between pores, whereby bones are allowed to grow into the pores to increase bone adhesion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9144497
    Abstract: An acetabular cup assembly for an artificial hip joint includes an acetabular cup including a seating recess, a female taper formed on an inner wall, protrusion recesses formed to communicate with the seating recess and insertion recesses each positioned inside a corresponding one of the protrusion recesses; and a bearing including a male taper on an outer circumference thereof, protrusions inserted into the protrusion recesses, and insertion protruding portions each formed on a corresponding one of the protrusions, the insertion protruding portions being inserted into the insertion recesses. A polyethylene bearing can be firmly fixed to the acetabular cup. When a ceramic bearing made is inserted into the acetabular cup, the area where the bearing adjoins the acetabular cup is increased, thereby preventing the ceramic bearing from being broken. Since no groove is formed along the entire circumference of the acetabular cup, the strength is increased.

  • Publication number: 20130282135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an implant which is surgically inserted in vivo such as an artificial knee joint or artificial hip joint. More particularly, the present invention relates to an implant for in-vivo insertion, wherein the porosity of a porous coating layer formed on the surface of the implant, thus increasing the bone adhesion of the implant into pores, the adhesivity between the implant and the porous coating layer and the adhesivity between particles in the porous coating layer, wherein vertically-curved pores each having a radius of 100˜300 ?m are formed in the porous coating layer to increase the adhesivity of the implant to the bone growing into the pores, thus increasing bone adhesion, and wherein the ratio of interconnected pores in the porous coating layer is increased, and thus bones growing into the pores are interconnected, thereby increasing the adhesivity between the implant and the bones.

  • Publication number: 20100298946
    Abstract: An artificial knee joint in which plural flexions are formed at a femur joint member includes a femur joint member which is joined to an end portion of a tibia near a femur; a tibia joint member which is joined to an end portion of a femur near a tibia; and a bearing member between the femur joint member and the tibia joint member, wherein the femur joint member includes plural side flexions which have various radii of curvature in order to make the contact surface become enlarged so that the stress may be dispersed at the contact portion with the tibia.

  • Publication number: 20100292805
    Abstract: An artificial knee joint is provided in which a flexion is formed at the bearing member and includes a femur joint member which is joined to an end portion of a tibia near a femur; a tibia joint member which is joined to an end portion of a femur near a tibia; and a bearing member between the femur joint member and the tibia joint member, wherein the bearing member includes a groove where a planar front flexion and a planar rear flexion at an upper plane, in order to provide an artificial knee joint movement similar to a real knee movement.
