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.
Claims31
An implant with a body composition of mineral and polymer with a surface comprising a different composition than the implant body, wherein 10-70% w/w of the body composition comprises mineral material, wherein said material comprises 1-15% w/w calcium, wherein the body comprises an interspersed composition of mineral and polymer, and a surface layer, wherein said surface layer comprises a surface composition of at least 10% of the surface that is of a different composition than the body composition and comprises less than 4% w/w silica;
- wherein the body comprises more than 8% w/w silica;
- wherein the calcium content of the surface is 50% w/w less than the calcium content of the body composition;
- and wherein the mineral to polymer weight ratio in the surface composition is less than 50% of mineral to polymer weight ratio than the body composition.
An implant with a body composition of mineral and polymer with a surface comprising a different composition than the implant body, wherein 10-70% w/w of the body composition comprises mineral material, wherein said material comprises 1-15% w/w calcium, wherein the body comprises an interspersed composition of mineral and polymer, and a surface layer, wherein said surface layer comprises a surface composition of at least 10% of the surface that is of a different composition than the body composition and comprises less than 4% w/w silica;
- wherein the body comprises more than 8% w/w silica;
- wherein the calcium content of the surface is 50% w/w less than the calcium content of the body composition;
- and wherein the surface layer comprises a surface composition with at least 10%, higher polymer content than the body composition.
