ORTHOPEDIC BIODEGRADABLE IMPLANTS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61L27/44 A61L27/58 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: present group of inventions relates to the field of medicine, namely to orthopedic implants, and discloses an orthopedic implant and a method for its manufacture. An orthopedic implant is characterized by the fact that it contains a continuous reinforced thread with a predetermined freely defined fiber orientation in a set of successive continuous layers, in which the continuous reinforced composite thread contains a bioabsorbable polymer matrix and a continuous bioabsorbable reinforcing fiber or a fiber bundle, and in which a continuous bioabsorbable fiber or a fiber bundle is at least partially entwined and / or twisted to form a three-dimensionally interlocked continuous fibrous structure.

EFFECT: resulting orthopedic implant is bioabsorbable, has improved strength properties and can be used for the manufacture of three-dimensional orthopedic elements, such as plates for fixing bones, pins, screws, nails with a wide head, nails, meshes, stents and anchors.
