METHOD FOR SATURATION OF POROUS COATING OF PROSTHETIC IMPLANTS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61C13/03 A61L27/52 A61K33/38 A61P43/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for saturation of porous coating of prosthetic implants involves immersing a prosthetic implant into an impregnation container with medicinal solution arranged in a working chamber. Air is eliminated from the chamber by generating negative pressure to be thereafter increased. A top piece of the prosthetic implant comprising nanopores and nanochannels are connected to a rod fastener and fixed in the chamber. Air is eliminated from the chamber until the prosthetic implant is immersed into the impregnation container and simultaneously exposed to ultraviolet and infrared lights for 1.5-4 hours. Thereafter, the pressure is increased in the chamber to 1-1000 Pa, and the prosthetic implant is immersed into the impregnation chamber. The immersion is followed by mechanical percussion action on the fastener with accelerating the process of saturation of the porous structure with nanopores and nanochannels at a frequency of 100-2000 Hz.

EFFECT: accelerating the process of drug saturation of the porous structure and antimicrobial treatment of the inner pores of the coating of the prosthetic implant.
