Patent number: 10588749Abstract: Porous biocompatible structures suitable for use as medical implants and methods for fabricating such structures are disclosed. The disclosed structures may be fabricated using rapid manufacturing techniques. The disclosed porous structures have a plurality of struts and nodes where no more than two struts intersect one another to form a node. Further, the nodes can be straight, curved, portions that are curved and/or portions that are straight. The struts and nodes can form cells which can be fused or sintered to at least one other cell to form a continuous reticulated structure for improved strength while providing the porosity needed for tissue and cell in-growth.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Sharp, Shilesh C. Jani, Laura J. Gilmour, Ryan L. Landon
