| 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 |

| 20080296164 | Reinforcement Element for a Vehicle Hollow Body - The present invention relates to one-piece reinforcement elements consisting of an elongate shell-shaped basic body, the inner space of which has reinforcement ribs which are fixedly connected to the basic body, the reinforcement ribs consisting of plastic injection-molded on and their connection to the basic body taking place at discrete connection points via perforations in the basic body through which the plastic passes and extends over the surfaces of the perforations, and of a rigid structure reinforcement which is appended from the same plastic, by means of the same injection-molded operation, at at least one end of the basic body and which corresponds essentially to the form of the cross section of the hollow profile to be reinforced at this point of a body, an expandable adhesive material being applied over a portion of the surface of the rigid structure reinforcement and of the elongate shell-shaped basic body, the form of the rigid structure reinforcement and of the elongate basic body and also the quantity and distribution of the expandable adhesive being selected such that the adhesive material, during expansion, does not touch the inner surface of the outer panel of the body cavity to be reinforced and touches and adheres to at least part of the other inner walls of the body cavity to be reinforced, to the production of these and to their use. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090202761 | LIGHTWEIGHT COMPONENT OF HYBRID DESIGN - The present invention relates to lightweight components of hybrid design, also termed hybrid components or hollow-chamber lightweight components, composed of a shell-type parent body which is reinforced by means of thermoplastics and is suitable for the transmission of high mechanical loads, where particular flow aids are added to the thermoplastic in order to improve its physical properties. | 08-13-2009 |
