A method of making a metal-backed acetabular implant includes roughening a surface of a metallic integument and compression molding a bearing to the surface after the roughening step.

Orthopedic Component Of Low Stiffness

US Patent:
20090192610, Jul 30, 2009
Filed:
Jan 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/362159
Inventors:
Kirt L. Case - Warsaw IN, US
Oludele O. Popoola - Granger IN, US
Robby Kissling - Warsaw IN, US
Brion R. Mimnaugh - North Webster IN, US

Assignee:
ZIMMER, INC. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/28
A61F 2/32
B29D 31/505
US Classification:
623 1611, 623 2353, 623 2221, 156242
Abstract:
An orthopedic component having multiple layers that are selected to provide an overall modulus that is substantially lower than the modulus of known orthopedic components to more closely approximate the modulus of the bone into which the orthopedic component is implanted. In one exemplary embodiment, the orthopedic component is an acetabular shell. For example, the acetabular shell may include an outer layer configured for securement to the natural acetabulum of a patient and an inner layer configured to receive an acetabular liner. The head of a femoral prosthesis articulates against the acetabular liner to replicate the function of a natural hip joint. Alternatively, the inner layer of the acetabular shell may act as an integral acetabular liner against which the head of the femoral prosthesis articulates.

Bone Cement Injector Gun

View page
US Patent:
58934880, Apr 13, 1999
Filed:
Jun 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/877324
Inventors:
Stephen H. Hoag - Warsaw IN
Gregory C. Stalcup - Columbia City IN
Kwan-Ho Chan - Lubbock TX
Michael E. Hawkins - Columbia City IN
Kirt L. Case - Warsaw IN
Assignee:
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. - New York NY
International Classification:
A67D 542
US Classification:
222391
Abstract:
A paste injector gun, especially adapted for injecting bone cement, has first and second mechanical advantages. In a first embodiment, the first and second mechanical advantages are produced by two fulcrums engageable during different portions of the trigger stroke. In a second embodiment, the first and second mechanical advantages are produced by a fixed fulcrum and a rotatable fulcrum. The first mechanical advantage is greater than the second such that the first facilitates pressurizing the bone cement and the second facilitates high volume dispensing of the bone cement. The injector gun also includes a pair of U-shaped slots. One of the slots is sized to accept a large cement cartridge and the other slot is sized to accept a small cement cartridge. An alternative embodiment provides a hinged cartridge retaining gate for closing the U-shaped slots for positive retention of the cartridge.

Monomer Transfer Device

View page
US Patent:
53062779, Apr 26, 1994
Filed:
Dec 23, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/812542
Inventors:
Mark Bryant - Auburn IN
Kirt Case - Warsaw IN
Todd A. Dawson - Warsaw IN
Rebecca Gibbs - Greensboro NC
Cary R. Reeves - Leesburg IN
Assignee:
Zimmer, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 232
A61F 228
A61M 500
US Classification:
606 93
Abstract:
The monomer transfer device of this invention includes a syringe adapted to receive an ampule and adapted for connection to a vacuum source such that with the ampule open within the syringe body, the monomer is vacuumed out of the ampule and into the mixing container. Alternative embodiments accept an unbroken ampule and include an offset designed to break the ampule at its predetermined break point to permit the contents of the ampule to be vacuumed from the ampule and transferred to the mixing container. A small mesh filter or screen may be included to any of the ampule before it reaches the mixing container. Once the ampule is inserted into the syringe, an end cap is connected to close the syringe and maintain any fumes within the syringe. In the alternative embodiments, the end cap acts to force the ampule against the offset so as to cause the ampule to break.

Device For Minimizing Porosity In Bone Cement Utilizing Centrifugation And Vacuum

View page
US Patent:
54724457, Dec 5, 1995
Filed:
Sep 20, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/122956
Inventors:
Don Yakimicki - Plymouth IN
Kirt Case - Warsaw IN
Steve Hoag - Warsaw IN
Assignee:
Zimmer, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 1756
B04B 500
US Classification:
606 92
Abstract:
The mixing apparatus and method of this invention combines centrifugation and vacuum mixing to provide a device for the centrifugation of cement under a partial vacuum for the reduction of porosity within bone cement. The results of centrifugation under a vacuum are an improvement over the results achieved in standard centrifugation or standard vacuum mixing techniques. The device includes a receptacle which is spun rapidly about an axis under a partial vacuum. Creating a partial vacuum within the receptacle causes the air bubbles trapped within the cement to grow in size. The centrifugation causes the larger air bubbles to migrate through the cement toward the axis of rotation. Centrifugation works especially well under a partial vacuum due to the increased size of the air bubbles, in that larger bubbles migrate easier and quicker than smaller bubbles. Under centrifugation, the smaller air bubbles are compressed to such a degree that they become insignificant within the cement.
