20110034991 | ENDOPROSTHESIS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME - An endoprosthesis, in particular, an intraluminal endoprosthesis, e.g., a stent, having a basic mesh and a functional element attached to a carrier structure, the functional element having a different material composition than the material of the basic mesh in at least a portion of its volume. The carrier structure is arranged on the basic mesh in the first essentially finger-shaped end and protrudes away from the mesh essentially like a projection. The functional element is arranged on an area of the carrier structure protruding away from the base body and at least partially surrounds the area of the carrier structure. | 02-10-2011 |
20110077732 | IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an implant, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, having a body containing metallic material, preferably iron. For controlling the degradation of the implant the method includes the following steps: (a) providing a first part of the implant body; and (b) performing heat treatment which alters the carbon content and/or the boron content and/or the nitrogen content in the structure of a near-surface boundary layer in the first part of the implant body in such a way that strain on the lattice or a lattice transformation, optionally following a subsequent mechanical load, is achieved in the near-surface boundary layer. Such an implant is also described. | 03-31-2011 |
20110130823 | STENT HAVING FUNCTION ELEMENTS - An endoprosthesis, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, including a tubular base body and at least one function element, the at least one function element also being tubular and being arranged on the base body in such a way that the at least one function element surrounds the base body at least partially and in at least partial areas, so that it is aligned concentrically with the base body. | 06-02-2011 |
20110311456 | MARKER ALLOY - A marker alloy foreign implant made of a biodegradable metallic material and having the composition MgxYbyMz wherein x is equal to 10-60 atomic percent; y is equal to 40-90 atomic percent; z is equal to 0-10 atomic percent; M is one or more element selected from the group consisting of Ag, Zn, Au, Ga, Pd, Pt, Al, Sn, Ca, Nd, Ba, Si, and Ge; and wherein x, y, and z, together, and including contaminants caused by production, result in 100 atomic percent. | 12-22-2011 |
20130060326 | IMPLANT MADE OF A BIODEGRADABLE MAGNESIUM ALLOY - An implant made in total or in parts of a biodegradable magnesium alloy consisting of Y: 2.0-6.0% by weight, Nd: 1.5-4.5% by weight, Gd: 0-4.0% by weight, Dy: 0-4.0% by weight, Er: 0-4.0% by weight, Zr: 0.1-1.0% by weight, Li:0-0.2% by weight, Al: 0-0.3% by weight, under the condition that a) a total content of Er, Gd and Dy is in the range of 0.5-4.0% by weight and b) a total content of Nd, Er, Gd and Dy is in the range of 2.0-5.5% by weight, the balance being magnesium and incidental impurities up to a total of 0.3% by weight. | 03-07-2013 |
20130297006 | IMPLANT WITH INCREASED CARBON CONTENT AT NEAR-SURFACE BOUNDARY LAYER - Implant in the form of an intraluminal endoprosthesis, having a tubular body containing metallic material, optionally iron, whereby in at least a portion of the implant body the following are present in the structure of a near-surface boundary layer in comparison to the respective concentration in the remaining structure: an increased carbon content in a concentration of approximately 0.5% by weight to approximately 2% by weight; or an increased carbon and nitrogen content, wherein a concentration of carbon is approximately 0.5% by weight to approximately 7% by weight, and a concentration of nitrogen is approximately 0.5% by weight to approximately 17% by weight. | 11-07-2013 |
