Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for repairing a bone or cartilage defect in a living organism, comprising implanting an implant according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention into the defective bone or cartilage, or replacing the defective bone or cartilage at least partially. | 10-09-2008 |
20080249637 | PARTIALLY BIODEGRADABLE THERAPEUTIC IMPLANT FOR BONE AND CARTILAGE REPAIR - Exemplary embodiment of the present invention is directed to an at least partially biodegradable implant suitable for implantation into a subject for repairing a bone or cartilage defect, comprising a three-dimensional open-celled framework structure made of a non-particulate first material, the framework structure being embedded in a second, non-particulate material different from said first material, or the open-celled framework structure being substantially completely filled with said second, non-particulate material, wherein at least one of the first material or the second material is at least partially degradable in-vivo. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to a method for repairing a bone or cartilage defect in a living organism, comprising implanting an implant according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention into the defective bone or cartilage, or replacing the defective bone or cartilage at least partially. | 10-09-2008 |
20080248086 | CURABLE THERAPEUTIC IMPLANT COMPOSITION - The exemplary embodiments of the present invention relates to a curable therapeutic implant composition for use in the filling of a cavity in a living organism, comprising particles of a metallic material, and a curable matrix-forming, non-particulate material, wherein at least one of the metallic material or the matrix-forming material is at least partially degradable in-vivo. Furthermore, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to methods of filling a cavity in a living organism with the use of the curable implant composition. | 10-09-2008 |
20080213742 | HIGH SURFACE CULTIVATION SYSTEM - An exemplary embodiment of a reversibly closable vessel suitable for the cultivation of cells and/or tissues can be provided. The exemplary vessel can comprise at least one reversibly closable aperture in the vessel wall, a convection arrangement inside the vessel which can comprise at least one blade. The arrangement can be configured to generate and/or modulate a convection in a fluid within the vessel when the vessel and/or the blade is agitated The convection arrangement and/or the blade can be at least particularly made from a porous material. | 09-04-2008 |
20080213611 | POROUS, NON-DEGRADABLE IMPLANT MADE BY POWDER MOLDING - The exemplary embodiment of the present invention are provided which relate to porous implants and methods for manufacture thereof which use powder molding techniques. For example, a suspension can be provided comprising a plurality of first particles of at least one organic polymer, a plurality of second particles of at least one metal-based material, and at least one solvent. The first and second particles can be substantially insoluble in the solvent. The suspension can be molded to form a green body comprising the first particles embedded in a matrix of compressed second particles. The first particles may be removed from the green body by thermally induced decomposition and/or evaporation. The green body can be sintered to form the implant. The removals of the first particles can be performed during sintering. | 09-04-2008 |
20080206862 | HIGH SURFACE CULTIVATION SYSTEM BAG - An exemplary embodiment of a reversibly closable bag suitable for the cultivation of cells and/or tissues can be provided. The exemplary bag can comprise at least one reversibly closable aperture in the bag wall, and a surface-increasing convection arrangement inside the bag. The convection arrangement is capable to generate and/or modify a convection in a fluid within said bag when at least one of the fluid, the bag, and the convection arrangement is agitated. For example, the surface increasing convection arrangement can be at least one blade, at least one particulate filler and/or at least one surface-increasing substrate being made of a single mould. A system can also be provided comprising at least two bags, whereas the bags may be interconnected via at least one aperture in their bag wall, and a cultivation process using such a bag or system, in which at least one type of cells, tissue, tissue-like cell cultures, organs, organ-like cell cultures, or multicellular organisms are cultivated in the presence of at least one fluid or solid medium provided for growing and/or cultivating the aforesaid culture. | 08-28-2008 |
