The new implant consists of two layers: the inner porous and dense outer. After the inner layer trabecular structure sprouting blood vessels and tissues, making it quickly take root. The continuous reinforcement layer performs the function of carrying the brunt. Such implants can replace bone tissue in the pelvic bones, skull, shoulder blades, or for trauma or cancer.
The implant is made from a fine powder of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. For the formation of pores in the sodium chloride powder was added high purity. The mixture is then compressed into monolithic material under high pressure and at high temperature, and the salt is washed out with water. implant preform is dried and then is reinforced on one side with a continuous layer of UHMW polyethylene.
The upper layers of the implant is introduced antibacterial composition which protects the body against infection and inflammation. Porous part seeded cells taken from the patient’s bone marrow, and proteins that stimulate the germination of these cells in the bone tissue.
«Our implants are made of lightweight and durable material. Ductile material: During surgery, the surgeon may cut and align the implant, which is impossible, for example, with titanium implants. The porous structure occupies 80% of the volume of the implant blanks, so he quickly acquires tissue and blood vessels. The material is cheap, the cost of 50 cm3 in size implant blanks without settling cells and proteins – about 10 000 “- told the researcher of the Center for Composite Materials NUST” MISA “Fedor Senate.
Work on this technology, lasted for four years and continues to this day. Now he completed part of pre-clinical trials. The researchers have filed two applications for patents and the Russian plan to get international. In the near future specialists will release a free trial batch of implants for veterinary clinics.
