METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ARTIFICIAL JOINTS BY THE APPLICATION OF GAS CLUSTER ION BEAM TECHNOLOGY |
摘要 |
The present invention applies gas cluster ion beam "GCIB" technology to modify artificial joint component surfaces and reduce wear debris, osteolysis complications, and accelerated wear failure. A gas cluster particle source (116) produces gas cluster particles to be ionized (122) and accelerated (126). The GCIB is then directed to a non-uniform patterning means (132) to impinge a desired artificial joint (10) with a predetermined dose and distribution of ionized gas cluster particles. |
