  • 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: 20060058786
    Abstract: An implant for correcting pectus excavatum is disclosed, which comprises a chest correction bar (30) inserted into a body for lifting a depressed sternum and costal cartilages, and a stabilizer (40) for being inserted into a distal end of the chest correction bar (30) to prevent the chest correction bar from being rotated inside the body, wherein the chest correction bar (30) is formed at both jagged distal ends thereof with recesses (33) each of a predetermined length along the lengthwise direction of the chest correction bar (30), and wherein the stabilizer (40) comprises: two fixing plates (41, 41?) for being fixed to the body of a patient; a bridge (42) connecting the two fixing plates (41, 41?); two protruders (43, 43?) each generally opposed from the fixing plates (41, 41?) so as to be hitched by the recesses (33) at the distal ends of the chest correction bar (30) inserted from under the bridge (42), where there are formed two spaces (C) each of a predetermined size between the two protuders (43, 43?)

  • Patent number: 6428575
    Abstract: A prosthetic cage for spine adapted to be implanted in an intervertebral disc space between two vertebral bodies in a spine and to accommodate fusion of the disc space, said cage being a tubular body with an internal aperture, an external surface of which having a plurality of wall apertures each perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof and communicating with the internal aperture, and dual convex screw threads extended therefrom, such that the cage of the present invention has an advantage that the stability of fixation between the cage and the vertebral body can be achieved by simple variation of its shape.
