Influence of Laser Modification on the Surface Character of Biomaterials: Titanium and Its Alloys—A Review
PublicationLaser surface modification is a widely available and simple technique that can be applied to different types of materials. It has been shown that by using a laser heat source, reproducible surfaces can be obtained, which is particularly important when developing materials for medical applications. The laser modification of titanium and its alloys is advantageous due to the possibility of controlling selected parameters and properties...

THE DETERMINATION OF ABRASION RESISTANCE OF SELECTED BIOMATERIALS FOR THE FRICTION PAIRS IN THE HIP JOINT ENDOPROSTHESIS
PublicationThe key requirement for the modern endoprosthesis is high durability of the friction components, which results in long and trouble-free operation in the human body. The durability of currently used endoprosthesis is often limited by tribological wear processes of friction components (e.g. between the head and the acetabular component in a hip joint endoprosthesis) [8, 19, 23, 24]. In order to compare the tribological wear, tribological...

The degradation of metal implants
PublicationThe presence of metal implants in the human body causes some dangers, which result from introducing another object into organism. There may occur a biocorrosion, which causes different modifications of implant surface.

3D Printing of Metallic Implants
PublicationThe fabrication of various elements, solid and open porous structures of stainless steel and Ti alloy is described. The process was started with the design of 3D models in CAD/CAM system. The 3D models were transformed into *.stl files and then the manufacturing process of the real structures by means of the selective laser melting with the SLM Realizer 100 3D printer was made. The paper shows the porous specimens made for possible...

Evaluation of the Cathodic Electrodeposition Effectiveness of the Hydroxyapatite Layer Used in Surface Modification of Ti6Al4V-Based Biomaterials
PublicationThe important issue associated with the design and the fabrication of the titanium and titanium alloy implants is the increase of their biointegration with bone tissue. In the presented paper, the research results concerning the conditions used in the cathodic deposition of hydroxyapatite on the surface Ti6Al4V substrates primarily modified by the production of TiO2 nanoporous coatings, TiO2 nanofibers, and titanate coatings, are...

Degradable poly(ester-ether) urethanes of improved surface calcium deposition developed as novel biomaterials
PublicationBones, which are considered as hard tissues, work as scaffold for human body. They provide physical support for muscles and protect intestinal organs. Percentage of hard tissues in human body depends on age, weight, and gender. Human skeleton consists of 206 connected bones. Therefore, it is natural that the hard-tissue damage such as fractures, osteoporosis, and congenital lack of bone may appear. The innovative way of bone healing...

Engineering Challenges in the Design of Cochlear Implants
PublicationHearing aids such as cochlear implants have been used by both adults and children for a long time. In addition, cochlear implants are used by patients who have severe hearing loss either by birth or after an accident. This paper aims to investigate the engineering challenges bounding the design of cochlear implants and present its possible solution...

In vivo degradation of short-term implants
PublicationStan powierzchni wywiera istotny wpływ na właściwości użytkowe implantu. Stawiane wymagania, zależą od funkcji jakie ma spełniać wszczep oraz rodzaju implantowanego materiału. W przypadku implantów krótkotrwałych wymagana jest przede wszystkim odpowiednia odporność korozyjna, nie powinno tworzyć się trwałe połączenie pomiędzy wszczepem a tkanką kostną.Wszystkie biomateriały ulegają degradacji. Ważne jest to, aby produkty tej degradacji...

Degradation of metal implants covered with silver
PublicationSilver was known for its antibacterial properties as long ago as in antiquity. The silver ions have ability to join the bacteria surface. Low density of silver ions Ag+ influence the protons through the bacteria surface, which results in total destruction of the cell. Antibacterial activity of silver remains in proportion with the density of silver ions Ag+ in the environment.
