Abstract
An artificial bone comprising a substrate material and at least one of a suppression component and an x-ray component. The substrate material comprises a plurality of closed cells. The suppression component is impregnated into at least one of the plurality of closed cells. The x-ray component is dispersed within the substrate material. The invention further comprises a method of manufacturing same.
Claims13
An artificial bone comprising:
- a substrate material, wherein the substrate material comprises a molded polymer having a plurality of closed cells;
- and
- a suppression component which limits dusting, chipping and cracking of the substrate material, the suppression component impregnated into at least one of the plurality of closed cells.
A method of manufacturing an artificial bone comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate base material, the substrate base material comprising a polymer;
- curing the substrate base material into a substrate;
- and
- impregnating the substrate with a suppression component, to, in turn, provide an artificial bone which limits dusting, chipping and cracking of the substrate material.
