  • Patent number: 10668187
    Abstract: A method of producing metallic medical supplies includes supplying a metallic material selected from the group consisting of Ti, a Ti alloy, stainless steel and a Co—Cr alloy as a base material; treating the base material by carrying out anodic oxidation treatment in which an acid electrolytic bath or an alkali electrolytic bath is used as an electrolytic solution, and pulsed current having a frequency of 50 to 10,000 Hz is applied to the base material in the electrolytic solution to carry out electrolysis treatment to form a film having micro pores and/or micro unevennesses having a density of 5×104/mm2 or more on a surface of the base material; and carrying out iodine-impregnation treatment to impregnate the film with iodine or iodine compounds, wherein the metallic medical supplies have an antimicrobial activity value of not less than 2 to not more than 4.

  • Patent number: 4483751
    Abstract: A process of treating an anodic oxide film wherein a base material of a valve metal is anodized to form the anodic oxide film thereon, which is then impregnated with a polymerizable organic metal compound and thereafter subjected to polymerization of the compound, whereby the micropores of the anodic oxide film are filled and sealed with the polymerized organometallic compound. According to this process, there is provided a base material having an anodic oxide film impregnated with polymerized organometallic compound which is excellent in heat resistance, heat radiance, and electrical insulation, and hence the base material is useful for the printed wiring board, electrically-insulative heat sink, heat-resistant insulated wire and the like.
