Abstract:
A screw which is self-locking screw has an elliptical screw body. The screw may be used, e.g., to secure implants such as spinal implants or, e.g., to secure bone or plants.
Abstract:
A ceramic component that consists of a shell, a filler material and pore channels that pass through the filler material, and can be used as an implant, particularly as a spacer.
Abstract:
A ceramic bone replacement material and to a generative method for producing said bone replacement material, in particular ceramic bone replacement materials used in implants and preferably in spinal column implants. Generative manufacturing methods make it possible to shape the structures of the bone replacement.
Abstract:
Implants that have anchoring elements, which are vertebral implants that can be used as intervertebral disk replacement in the form of cages for the fusion of vertebral bodies.
Abstract:
A method for producing a ceramic osseoconductive bone substitute material, the bone substitute material, intervertebral disk implants containing the substitute bone material, and to methods of using the bone substitute material.
Abstract:
A method for producing a ceramic osseoconductive bone substitute material, the bone substitute material, intervertebral disk implants containing the substitute bone material, and to methods of using the bone substitute material.
Abstract:
A ceramic component to be securely connected to an additional component in force-locked manner. A joint prosthesis comprising a ceramic sphere (1), a metallic sleeve (2) and a base plate (3) with a cylindrical projection. The connection between the ceramic sphere and the base plate or shaft (7) is secured by a screw (6).
Abstract:
Ceramic components for replacing joint surfaces, and methods for production thereof. In particular, the invention relates to ceramic joint surface implants which completely or partially replace natural cartilage.
