  • Method for forming biocompatible components using an isostatic press
    Patent number: 5505984
    Abstract: A method for forming a biocompatible component from a biocompatible thermoplastic material and a biocompatible fibrous material using an isostatic press. The method includes the steps of placing the biocompatible thermoplastic material and the biocompatible fibrous material in a flexible container. The flexible container is then heated under pressure so as to cause the biocompatible thermoplastic material to encapsulate the biocompatible fibrous material. The flexible container is then cooled so as to form the biocompatible component.

  • Biocompatible components fabricated from a substantially consolidated stock of material
    Patent number: 5466530
    Abstract: A method for forming biocompatible components from a stock of substantially completely consolidated material. The method includes the step of forming an incompletely consolidated stock from a powder. The substantially completely consolidated stock is then formed from the incompletely consolidated stock. Finally, the substantially completely consolidated stock is then machined to form the biocompatible component.
