PROTHETISCHE VORRICHTUNGEN.

摘要

A high modulus endoprosthetic device comprising a polyaryletherketone and optionally reinforcement which may be fibrous, particulate or relatively massive. Loss of reinforcement to the body tissues may be reduced by provision of polymer rich layer at the surface of the device, particularly in locations where reinforcement is exposed at the surface or is likely to be exposed due to tissue or other abrasion.
