  • Patent number: 11260148
    Abstract: The method of making an implant consists on coating of a supporting structure (1) with synthetic hydroxyapatite by immersing the supporting structure (1) in a suspension (3) and triggering of a cavitation in a portion of the suspension (3) being in contact with the supporting structure (1). The suspension (3) is formed by a liquid external phase, advantageously water, and internal phase, i.e. particles of synthetic hydroxyapatite having an average particle size not exceeding 100 nm and containing structural water in an amount from 2 to 6% by weight. The implant is coated with the above described hydroxyapatite subjected to cavitation and a thickness of 50 nm to 1000 nm, advantageously 50 nm to 300 nm.

  • Patent number: 9675459
    Abstract: To manufacture the implant a nanopowder of synthetic hydroxyapatite (Hap) is used having a hexagonal structure, average grain size in a range from 3 to 30 nm and the specific surface area greater than 200 m2/g. First the nanopowder is formed to the desired geometric shape, and then the shape is fixed. In the step of shape information the dried nanopowder is pressed in the mold under the pressure ranging from 50 Mpa to 2 GPa. In the step of fixing the pressed nanopowder at room temperature is subjected to the pressure rising from the ambient value to the peak value selected from a range of 1 to 8 GPa and to a temperature selected from a range of 100° C. to 600° C. for a period of time selected from a range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The density of thus produced implant, determined by helium method, is not less than 75% of the theoretical density.

  • Publication number: 20090134038
    Abstract: In the method at least two electrodes (1, 2) and fluid reagents (4) are placed in the reaction vessel (3). At least one fluid substrate (11) of the fluid reagents (4) is capable of electric polarization. The reagents (4) are subjected to electric voltage in the form of a series of short electric pulses in such way that unipolar or bipolar electric field pulses are generated. The minimum duration time of electric pulses is from 50 ns and the maximum is 20 ms. The pause between the consecutive pulses is from 0.5 ?s to 3 s. In the reactor at least two electrodes (1, 2) are connected to the electric power adaptor delivering unipolar or bipolar pulses of direct or alternating voltage which constitutes the source of the electric field with amplitude exceeding 100V/cm. The electrodes (1, 2) are placed in the reaction vessel (3) filled with fluid reagents (4) which contains at least one liquid substrate (11) capable of electric polarization.
