  • PLASMA SPRAYED POROUS COATING FOR MEDICAL IMPLANTS
    Publication number: 20090012611
    Abstract: A prosthesis having an oxidized zirconium surface and a porous textured surface is described. A major advantage of the prosthesis is increased service life. Additionally, a process of manufacturing the prosthesis is described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 27, 2008
    Publication date: January 8, 2009
    Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert E. Brosnahan, III, Randy Fesmire, Harsh Gupta, Daniel A. Heuer, Gordon Hunter, Vivek Pawar
  • IN-SITU OXIDIZED TEXTURED SURFACE FOR PROSTHETIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20080047931
    Abstract: A textured surface and oxidation layer coating on a metallic material is accomplished through the chemical and/or electrochemical etching of the surface to modify the surface texture and an in-situ oxidation procedure. The surface is useful for the fabrication of prosthetic devices, particularly medical implants, due to the corrosion and wear resistance imparted by the oxidation layer and the ability to enhance grafting of the implant onto bone imparted by the surface texture.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 17, 2007
    Publication date: February 28, 2008
    Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.
    Inventors: Randy Fesmire, Harsh Gupta, Daniel Heuer, Gordon Hunter
