International Classification:
A61F 232
US Classification:
264485, 264 85, 264320, 264322
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a bearing for use in an orthopaedic implant, comprises the steps of: providing a radiation source; positioning a bearing material at a distance away from the radiation source; installing a shield over at least a portion of the bearing material; irradiating the bearing material through the shield using the radiation source; and forming a bearing surface on the bearing material.

International Classification:
B23K031/00
B23K031/02
B23K035/12
B23K001/19
US Classification:
2282481, 228253, 228249, 2282623
Abstract:
A method for attaching a porous metal layer to a dense metal substrate, wherein the method is particularly useful in forming orthopedic implants such as femoral knee components or acetabular cups. The method, in one embodiment thereof, comprises providing a structured porous layer; providing a dense metal substrate; providing a binding mixture; applying the binding mixture to the exterior of the substrate; placing the porous layer against the substrate such that the binding mixture is disposed there between forming an assembly; and heat treating the assembly to metallurgically bond the porous layer to the substrate.

Disposable Provisional Instrument Component For Evaluating The Fit Of An Orthopaedic Implant

View page
US Patent:
55228976, Jun 4, 1996
Filed:
Apr 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/422193
Inventors:
Richard S. King - Warsaw IN
Thirumalai N. C. Devanathan - Warsaw IN
Steve T. Lin - Fort Wayne IN
William L. Rohr - Warsaw IN
Dale F. Swarts - Warsaw IN
Assignee:
Zimmer, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 228
A61F 500
US Classification:
623 16
Abstract:
A provisional instrument component 1 for evaluating the fit of a corresponding orthopaedic implant. The component 1 is intended and designed to be a disposable, single use provisional instrument component. The provisional instrument component 1 is made of a material which can be sterilized by gamma irradiation, but which provides a visible indicator, such as visible deformation 10, upon resterilization by exposure to a heated environment, thereby discouraging or preventing re-use of the component 1.

Acetabular Cup

View page
US Patent:
58793984, Mar 9, 1999
Filed:
Feb 14, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/388089
Inventors:
Dale F. Swarts - Warsaw IN
William L. Rohr - Warsaw IN
Steve T. Lin - Warsaw IN
Thirumalai Devanathan - Warsaw IN
Steven L. Krebs - Warsaw IN
Paul D. Schoenle - South Bend IN
Assignee:
Zimmer, Inc.
International Classification:
A61F 234
US Classification:
623 22
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an acetabular cup prosthesis for implantation into a pelvic bone. A cup having a cavity for receiving a femoral head is formed of a polymeric material having a predetermined tensile strength. A backing is disposed about and attached to the polymeric cup. The backing has a porous construction defining interstitial pores, with the pores being sized to receive a portion of the polymeric cup therein and adapted for allowing ingrowth of the bone therein. The portion of the polymeric cup received within the pores results in an interface strength between the polymeric cup and the backing which is substantially equal to the tensile strength of the polymeric material.
