    摘要: A method of making a biomedical implant comprising the steps of contacting a biomedical implant having a surface comprising titanium with an acidic solution comprising a titanium precursor capable of hydrolysis to titanium for a time sufficient to epitaxially grow titania nanorods on the surface. Preferably, the titanium precursor is selected from the group consisting of titanium butoxide, TTIP and titanium tetrachloride. Carrying out the method provides a biomedical implant having a surface having nanorods comprising at least 50% titania extending therefrom, wherein the nanorods terminate in a substantially conical tip, wherein the nanorods have a density on the implant of at least 10 nanorods/um2.

    摘要: Electrosurgery blades including electrosurgery blade assemblies having argon beam capability. The electrosurgery blade includes a non-conductive planar member having opposite planar sides with a bottom angled sharp cutting edge, and a conductive layer located on one or both of the opposing planar sides of the non-conductive planar member where the conductive layer lies adjacent to the angled sharp cutting edge of the non-conductive planar member without covering the angled sharp cutting edge. In embodiments of the electrosurgery blade assemblies having argon beam capability, the electrosurgery blade assembly includes a non-conductive tube member having a hollow tubular shaped opening and a slot where at least a portion of the conductive layer of the electrosurgery blade is positioned within the slot of the non-conductive tube member.
