Continuous phase composite for musculoskeletal repair

摘要

A composite material for positioning in the anatomy to form a selected function therein. The composite may be resorbable over a selected period of time. The composite may allow for selected bone ingrowth as absorption of the composite occurs.

主权项

1. A resorbable implant, comprising:
a single member comprising a continuous formation, comprising a plurality of continuous channels forming a first and second sub-plurality of a plurality of pores of a porous first material resorbable into an anatomy at a first rate to allow bone ingrowth; and a second material that is a resorbable polymer for resorbing into an anatomy at a second rate less than the first rate to support the bone ingrowth such that the resorbable polymer defines a support for the bone ingrowth to maintain a selected strength of the member for a predetermined time period; wherein the first material and the second material are distinct and separately combined into the single member by positioning the second material within a structure of the formation of the first material, so as to substantially fill at least the first sub-plurality of the plurality of pores of the porous material.
