IDEA #6LMD9S Carbon-carbon Implants

Advantages The carbon-carbon endoprosthesis encases and grows into bone tissue; no restrictions on chemotherapy and radiotherapy due to high chemical and radiation stability of the implants; no allergic reactions to carbon-carbon material; no problems when passing through the metal detectors. The implant materials are transparent for X-rays. All the necessary clinical trials have been passed. More than 150 surgeries in patients have been already done Stage of Development. Suggestion for Commercialization IRL8, TRL7 Manufacture, supply, and staff training, upon request IPR Protection IPR1, IPR2 Areas of Application The carbon-carbon implants are used in medicine for endo- and exo-prostheses Specifi cation Density ranges 1.4-1.8 g /cm3; mechanical and elastic characteristics are similar to those of the human bones; open porosity of 8-12%; high chemical and radiation inertness; high biocompatibility
