ANTIBACTERIAL BIOMEDICAL IMPLANTS AND ASSOCIATED MATERIALS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS

Abstract:

Methods for improving the antibacterial and/or bone-forming characteristics of biomedical implants and related implants manufactured according to such methods. In some implementations, a biomedical implant may comprise a composite of a silicon nitride ceramic powder dispersed within a poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) or a poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) substrate material. In some implementations, the biomedical implant may be 3D printed.
