  • PROCESS TO PRODUCE HIGH-STRENGTH AND CORROSION RESISTANT ALLOY FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC BIORESORBABLE BONE FIXATION IMPLANTS AND HARDWARE
    Publication number: 20190001027
    Abstract: A Quaternary Mg—Zn—Ca-based alloy and a heat treatment process for producing bioresorbable bone fixation implants are described thereof. The mechanical and biocorrosion properties of the fabricated Mg-based alloy were improved by combining careful selection of the alloy's chemical composition and subsequent post-shaping process (heat treatments). Heat treatment process is more privileged especially after fabricating the part into its final shape such as in additive manufacturing (3D-printing) and powder metallurgy. In this way, it is possible to produce biocompatible, strong and less corrosive patient-specific bone fixation hardware. Also, such heat-treated Mg—Zn—Ca-based parts can be further coated with various types of biocompatible ceramic coatings for slower and more tailored biocorrosion rates.

  • Expandable inter-vertebral cage and method of installing same
    Patent number: 9561115
    Abstract: An inter-vertebral cage for use in repairing a damaged inter-vertebral disc includes a plurality of cage sections and a hinge element that connects adjacent ones of the cage sections together for relative movement. The hinge elements automatically urge the cage sections to move from an extended orientation to an installed orientation.
