Abstract
Fabrication methods and structures for three dimensional medical implants are provided.
Claims20
A method for forming a medical implant, the method comprising:
- forming a three dimensional structure using three dimensional (3D) printing, said three dimensional structure having x, y, and z structural geometry in a three dimensional x, y, and z Cartesian coordinate system;
- coating said three dimensional structure with an anti-infection material having a thickness in the range of 0.5 nanometers to 1.0 micrometers.
The method of claim 7, wherein said metal is silver.
A medical implant, comprising:
- a three dimensional structural component having x, y, and z structural geometry in a three dimensional x, y, and z Cartesian coordinate system, said three dimensional structural component made of at least a structural material and a nanocoating;
- a nanocoating of anti-infection material having a thickness in the range of 0.5 nanometers to 1.0 micrometers and coating said three dimensional structural material.
