20100076569 | MEDICAL IMPLANT AND PRODUCTION THEREOF - Medical implants exhibiting optimized mechanical properties, and methods of making such implants, are disclosed. That is, the implants are fabricated of a porous metal substrate and include coating integrated over various areas so as to provide some added or desirable property or functionality to the implant. In one embodiment, the implant is an acetabular implant with a coating applied to an internal, concave wear surface which is sized and configured to receive a head of a femur. Typically, the coating is a ceramic incorporated onto the desired area of the implant via electrophoretic deposition. | 03-25-2010 |

20110066253 | CERAMIC COATED ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANTS AND METHOD OF MAKING SUCH IMPLANTS - Orthopaedic implants with scratch-, wear- and corrosion-resistant ceramic coatings on metal substrates are provided, as well as methods for making such coatings. The metal substrate is advantageously HIP'd and homogenized prior to coating with the ceramic, and the HIP'd and homogenized metal substrate is preferably ground and polished prior to coating with the ceramic. The ceramic coating may include a band with multiple thin alternating layers of titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride or both titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride, and may include an alumina overcoat. The present coatings curtail the growth of microcracks that can otherwise result from surface cracks or scratches on coated substrates, and thereby provide improved wear characteristics, scratch resistance, and prevent the penetration of corrosive fluids to the substrate material. | 03-17-2011 |

20100129626 | Multilayer Coatings - Provided are scratch-, wear- and corrosion-resistant coatings for metal substrates, including orthopedic implants and other metal-containing constructs, as well as methods for making such coatings. The inventive coatings comprise multiple micron-width layers of titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride, or both titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride, and may also contain a layer of aluminum oxide, and may be characterized by alternating layers of titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride. The present coatings curtail the growth of microcracks that can otherwise result from surface cracks or scratches on coated substrates, and thereby provide improved wear characteristics, resist scratching, and prevent the penetration of corrosive fluids to the substrate material. | 05-27-2010 |
