Patents by Inventor Gerd Hausdorf

Gerd Hausdorf 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).

  • Metallic implant which is degradable in vivo
    Patent number: 8771751
    Abstract: The invention relates to a medical implant made of a metallic material. After fulfilling its temporary support function, the implant is degraded by corrosion at a predetermined rate. Negative long-term effects are thus avoided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 8, 2014
    Assignee: Biotronik AG
    Inventors: Bernd Heublein, Gerd Hausdorf

  • Medical metal implants that can be decomposed by corrosion
    Publication number: 20050071016
    Abstract: An in vivo, decomposable medical implant is provided and comprises a metal material that contains, as a main alloying constituent, tungsten or a metal from the group rhenium, osmium, and molybdenum. The method for decomposing the implant, via corrosion in a bio system, includes the step of changing the pH level of the bio system, at least at the site of the implant, from a corrosion-inhibiting level to a corrosion-promoting level.
