摘要:
An implant system comprising a functional implant (5, 6) that fulfills a medical function, particularly a bone implant, which is formed at least in part of a metal material that can be degraded by the body (2) of the implant wearer, as well as a control device (7) for controlling the degradation behavior of the functional implant (5, 6). The control device (7) has a counter-electrode (10) to the functional implant (5, 6), and a voltage source (8) for making available a polarization voltage (ΔU) between functional implant (5, 6, 15) and counter-electrode (10), to control the degradation behavior of the functional implant (5, 6).

摘要:
An endoprosthesis, in particular, an intraluminal endoprosthesis, e.g., a stent, having a basic mesh and a functional element attached to a carrier structure, the functional element having a different material composition than the material of the basic mesh in at least a portion of its volume. The carrier structure is arranged on the basic mesh in the first essentially finger-shaped end and protrudes away from the mesh essentially like a projection. The functional element is arranged on an area of the carrier structure protruding away from the base body and at least partially surrounds the area of the carrier structure.

摘要:
One embodiment of the invention relates to an implant comprising a base body made of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy. The magnesium alloy contains a plurality of statistically distributed particles, comprising one or more of the elements Y, Zr, Mn, Sc, Fe, Ni, Co, W, Pt and noble earths with the atomic numbers 57 to 71, or the particles comprise alloys or compounds containing one or more of the elements mentioned. The mean distance of the particles from each other is smaller than the hundredfold mean particle diameter.

The invention concerns an endovascular implant comprising a biodegradable material and having a tubular main body which is open at the ends and which is dilatable from an unexpanded condition into an expanded condition. The implant is so designed that when the implant in the expanded condition is subjected to a radially acting compression pressure in the range of between 5 and 30 kPa (0.05-0.3 bar) a cross-sectional area of the implant is reduced to 70% or less of the original cross-sectional area, or an internal volume of the implant is reduced to 70% or less of the original internal volume.

An implant consisting entirely or in part of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy having the composition Gd: 2.7-15.0 wt %, Zn: 0-0.5 wt %, Zr: 0.2-1.0 wt %, Nd: 0-4.5 wt %, Y: 0-2.0 wt %, where magnesium and impurities due to the production process account for the remainder to a total of 100 wt %.
摘要:
A magnesium alloy, comprising: Y:0.5-10 Zn:0.5-6 Ca:0.05-1 Mn: 0-0.5 Ag:0-1 Ce:0-1 Zr:0-1 or Si: 0-0.4, wherein the amounts are based on weight-percent of the alloy and Mg, and manufacturing-related impurities constitute the remainder of the alloy to a total of 100 weight-percent. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing such an alloy and a biodegradable implant formed therefrom.
摘要:
An endoprosthesis, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis such as a stent, comprises a carrier structure, which includes at least one component comprising a magnesium alloy of the following composition: Rare earth metals: between about 2.0 and about 5.0% by weight, with neodymium between about 1.5 and about 3.0% by weight Yttrium: between about 3.5% and about 4.5% by weight Zirconium: between about 0.3% and about 1.0% by weight Balance: between 0 and about 0.5% by weight wherein magnesium occupies the proportion by weight that remains to 100% by weight in the alloy.
