  • Multi-component non-biodegradable implant, a method of making and a method of implantation
    Patent number: 10583224
    Abstract: An implant comprising at least three components, namely, a solid hydrogel, a porous hydrogel adjacent to or surrounding the solid hydrogel (together considered “the hydrogel”), and a porous rigid base. The solid hydrogel and porous rigid base carry joint load, and the porous hydrogel layer and the porous rigid base allow for cellular migration into and around the implant. The invention is also a novel method of manufacturing the implant, a novel method of implanting the implant, and a method of treating, repairing or replacing biological tissue, more preferably musculoskeletal tissue, with the implant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 10, 2020
    Assignee: NEW YORK SOCIETY FOR THE RUPTURED AND CRIPPLED MAINTAINING THE HOSPITAL FOR SPECIAL SURGERY
    Inventors: Suzanne A. Maher, Tony Chen, Joseph D. Lipman, Peter Torzilli, Russell Warren
