20150032167 | BIOABSORBABLE ,ORIENTED, DEFORMABLE FIXATION MATERIAL AND PLATE - A bioabsorbable surgical osteosynthesis plate operable to be secured by at least one fastener through at least one fastener opening formed in the plate to a bone. The plate includes a flat section having first and second surfaces defining a main plane of the plate. The plate includes a polymer material that is oriented multiaxially and is substantially rigid and substantially deformable at a first thermochemical state. In the multiaxially oriented structure of the plate the polymer material is arranged according to at least three different orientation axes along the main plane of the plate as a result of solid state drawing of the plate. The polymer material of the plate has isotropic mechanical tear properties in different directions along the main plane of the plate. | 01-29-2015 |
20130211000 | BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL AND DEVICE - A biodegradable composite material or device including at least one biodegradable polymer matrix material and at least one filler component. The material or device has an initial shape and at least one evolved shape. The evolved shape is different from the initial shape. The initial shape is adapted to change towards the evolved shape. The filler component is adapted to accelerate and/or amplify the transformation from the initial shape towards the evolved shape when the external stimulus for transformation is given by physiological conditions. Also a method to control the shape transformation rate of a composite material or device. | 08-15-2013 |
20100121463 | BIOABSORBABLE AND BIOACTIVE COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE COMPOSITE - The present invention relates to a bioabsorbable and bioactive composite material for surgical musculoskeletal applications comprising a bioabsorbable polymeric matrix material which is reinforced with bioabsorbable polymeric fibers and bioabsorbable ceramic fibers. The surgical bioabsorbable polymeric matrix material is reinforced with the bioabsorbable polymeric fibers and the bioabsorbable ceramic fibers from which at least a portion is longer than 150 μm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a bioabsorbable and bioactive composite material. | 05-13-2010 |
20090270923 | Bioabsorbable band system,a bioabsorbable band, a method for producing a bioabsorbable band, a needle system of a bioabsorbable band and a locking mechanism - A bioabsorbable band system for securing a bone fracture, or an osteotomy, or a soft tissue on a bone. The bioabsorbable band system includes a needle system and a bioabsorbable band including a bioabsorbable locking member. The bioabsorbable band includes a length having an at least partially oriented structure. The bioabsorbable band further includes a locking mechanism with a locking member. Also a method for producing the bioabsorbable band. | 10-29-2009 |
20090149856 | MEDICAL DEVICE AND ITS MANUFACTURE - A biodegradable medical device including at least one biodegradable material and having an initial shape and at least one evolved shape. The evolved shape is different from the initial shape. The initial shape is adapted to change towards the evolved shape due to an external stimulus. The medical device has a tension loaded to a predetermined tension level. The medical device is adapted to restore the tension to the predetermined tension level for at least 2 weeks in physiological conditions, or conditions simulating the physiological conditions. | 06-11-2009 |
20080255561 | Medical device - A medical device for surgical applications including a body. The body includes bioabsorbable basic material and has a longitudinal axis. The body includes an inner region and a peripheral region transverse to the longitudinal axis so that the peripheral region surrounds the inner region. The inner region is made of bioabsorbable basic material and the peripheral region includes the bioabsorbable basic material. The peripheral region includes a bioabsorbable reinforcing structure in addition to the bioabsorbable basic material. | 10-16-2008 |
