| 20100121432 | Endoprosthesis - The invention relates to an endoprosthesis, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, for example a stent, having a base body composed at least partially of a metallic material, and having a functional element which is attached to the base body or imbedded therein and which contains material that is radiopaque and/or X-ray opaque and has a different material composition, at least in a portion of its volume, compared to the material of the base body. To avoid contact corrosion and undesired corrosion, the functional element is provided with a barrier layer which electrically insulates the radiopaque and/or X-ray opaque material from the base body. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100171492 | DEGRADATION AND INTEGRITY MEASURING DEVICE FOR ABSORBABLE METAL IMPLANTS - The present invention relates to a measuring device including a sensor catheter, an evaluation unit, and means for receiving a magnetic field and converting the magnetic field to an electrical measurement signal which are situated in the sensor catheter and connected to the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is designed to evaluate the electrical measurement signal. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100191324 | ENDOPROSTHESIS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - An endoprosthesis, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, for example a stent, having a basic mesh composed of an at least predominantly biodegradable material, and a coating provided on the biodegradable material is proposed. For better control of the degradation the basic mesh is essentially completely covered by a coating which contains parylene, preferably at least predominantly parylene, particularly preferably parylene C or parylene N, and the basic mesh is essentially completely covered by the coating, whereby the thickness of the coating is between approximately 0.1 μm and approximately 10 μm, preferably between approximately 0.4 μm and approximately 7 μm, particularly preferably between approximately 1 μm and approximately 5 μm. Also proposed is a method for manufacturing such an endoprosthesis. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100249900 | Drug eluting medical implant with porous surface - An implant is proposed, in particular made from a base material including a biodegradable metal and/or a biodegradable metal alloy, wherein the implant includes a coating made of crystalline calcium phosphate and/or amorphous calcium phosphate. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100324654 | IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an implant, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, with a body containing metallic material, preferably iron. The method includes the following steps to control degradation of the implant: (i) providing the body of the implant; and (ii) tribochemically treating at least part of the body surface by means of beam particles. An implant produced in this way is also described. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100324666 | IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF THE SAME - One example embodiment of the present invention relates to an implant, particularly an intraluminal endoprosthesis, having a body that contains metallic material, preferably iron. The implant body has a first layer with at least one ionic compound that contains ions of at least one halogen, particularly chloride ions and/or bromide ions, on at least part of its surface. Furthermore, a method for the production of such an implant is described. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20120016466 | ABLUMINALLY COATED DRUG-ELUTING STENTS HAVING A FORM-FITTING PROTECTIVE LAYER - A drug-eluting stent, comprising a base body that is made of an implant material, the base body being partially or entirely covered on the abluminal side with an active ingredient-releasing coating that comprises or is made of a polymer and an active ingredient having an antiproliferative effect, characterized in that the stent's luminal surface and the abluminal surface carrying the active ingredient-releasing coating are covered by a biocorrodible protective layer in a form-fitting manner. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120035716 | POLYLACTIDE-COATED IMPLANT COMPOSED OF A BIOCORRODIBLE MAGNESIUM ALLOY - Some invention embodiments relate to an implant having a base body composed of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy and a polylactide coating. The implant is characterized in that the coating contains seed crystals and/or lipophilic substances as additives. | 02-09-2012 |
