  • Publication number: 20120083882
    Abstract: A spinal implant structure includes a hollow cylinder and a biodegradable polymer membrane. The hollow cylinder is implanted in a bone damaged part of human vertebra. The biodegradable polymer membrane is formed to a part of a surface of the hollow cylinder. Thus, the biodegradable polymer membrane blocks invasion of soft tissues, and then the bone fillers integrated with vertebra are maintained without loss.

  • Publication number: 20120076847
    Abstract: A medical instrument and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The medical instrument includes a biomedical metal layer and a polymer film. The polymer film is a biodegradable polymer material. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: providing the biomedical metal layer, immersing the biomedical metal layer in a polymer solution, performing a baking process on the biomedical metal layer coated with a polymer film, forming the biomedical metal layer coated with the polymer film, taking out the biomedical metal layer coated with the polymer film to fabricate the medical instrument. The biodegradable polymer film and the biomedical metal layer are combined into the medical instrument, so that a physician performs a surgery more easily. In addition, decomposition time of the polymer film can be preset, so as to achieve efficacy of blocking soft tissue cells having a higher growth rate.

  • Publication number: 20110160841
    Abstract: A surface treatment method for a medical appliance is provided. The surface treatment method includes providing a metal layer; forming an intermediate layer on a surface of the metal layer, in which a thickness of the intermediate layer is greater than a thickness of a native oxide layer of the metal surface; and grafting a functional polymer on the intermediate layer through an electrodeposition process.
