Application: Surgical implant devices incorporating porous surfaces and associated method of manufacture (Patent ID: US20240099849A1)
The patent filed by Kyocera Corp. describes a surgical implant device that includes an implant body, a porous layer with intersecting struts, and needle structures protruding from the porous layer. Some needle structures are anchored to the implant body, while others are only anchored to the porous layer. The device is preferably made using additive manufacturing techniques to promote bony ingrowth, with roughened surfaces on the protruding structures and porous layer for enhanced bone integration.
The claims detail various aspects of the surgical implant device, including the additive manufacturing of protruding structures and porous layers to promote bony ingrowth. The exterior surfaces of these components are roughened to further enhance bone integration. Different orientations and shapes of needle structures are also described, along with the use of abrasive blast processes with specific parameters to create textures conducive to bony ingrowth. The patent emphasizes the use of materials like metal and Titanium for the body and protruding structures, respectively, to ensure the effectiveness of the implant device in promoting bone growth.
