Abstract: Methods and systems for manufacturing a ceramic or glass material component supersaturated in nitrogen are disclosed. The method for manufacturing a component typically comprises receiving the ceramic or glass material within a containment vessel; simultaneously heating and applying isostatic pressure to the ceramic or glass material within the containment vessel to a first temperature and a first pressure using pressurizing nitrogen gas; holding the first temperature and the first pressure for a period of time; cooling the ceramic or glass material within the containment vessel to a second temperature while maintaining the first pressure; and depressurizing the containment vessel to a second pressure.

Abstract: Methods for improving the antibacterial and/or bone-forming characteristics of biomedical implants and related implants manufactured according to such methods. In some implementations, a biomedical implant may comprise a composite of a silicon nitride ceramic powder dispersed within a poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) or a poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) substrate material. In some implementations, the biomedical implant may be 3D printed.
