Abstract
Reinforced biocomposite materials. According to at least some embodiments, medical implants are provided that incorporate novel structures, alignments, orientations and forms comprised of such reinforced bioabsorbable materials, as well as methods of treatment thereof.
Claims18
An orthopedic fixation implant comprising absorbable structural material, wherein strength and stiffness properties are anisotropic;
- the absorbable structural material comprising a reinforcement filler, wherein said absorbable structural material further comprises a biodegradable polymer;
- wherein an average density of the absorbable structural material is in a range of 1.3-3.0 g/cm3;
- wherein said reinforcing filler comprises a plurality of reinforcing fibers and wherein a weight ratio of reinforcing fibers to said biodegradable polymer is in the range of 1:1 to 1:3;
- and wherein a percentage of reinforcing fibers is in the range of 40% to 50% weight per weight;
- wherein a plurality of said reinforcement fibers are arranged in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the implant.
