Implantable devices coated with insulin-mimetic agent composites and methods thereof

摘要

The present invention discloses vanadium-based insulin-mimetic agent composite coatings, application of these coatings onto implantable devices, and use of the implantable devices for accelerating osseous healing. The invention also encompasses methods of manufacturing implantable devices coated with vanadium-based insulin- mimetic agent composite coatings and the implantable devices so manufactured. The implantable devices have wide applications, including but not limited to treating bone fracture, bone trauma, arthrodesis, and other bone deficit conditions, as well as bone injuries incurred in military and sports activities.
