  • Patent number: 10512495
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a medical device includes steps as follows: A degradable powder including at least one metal element is firstly provided on a target surface. A focused energy light bean is applied to sinter/cure the biodegradable powder within an oxygen-containing atmosphere; wherein the oxygen concentration of the oxygen-containing atmosphere is adjusted to provide a first oxygen concentration and a second concentration when the focused energy light is driven to a first location and second location of the target surface respectively. The aforementioned processes are then repeatedly carried out to form a three-dimensional (3D) structure of the medical device.

  • Patent number: 10433985
    Abstract: A limb prosthesis including a palm, a forearm, an upper arm, an elbow joint and a wrist joint is provided. The palm has a first pivot and a first lock set. The upper arm has a socket. The elbow joint connects the forearm to the upper arm. The wrist joint includes a first connecting rod connected to the forearm. The first pivot rotatably penetrates through the first connecting rod. The first lock set is locked to the first pivot. A first wedge surface of the first lock set contacts a second wedge surface of the first connecting rod. By adjusting a distance between the first lock set and the first pivot, a magnitude of a forward force between the first wedge surface and the second wedge surface is adjusted, such that the palm is fixed relative to the first connecting rod or rotatable around an axial direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the forearm.
