DEGRADABLE BULK METALLIC MAGNESIUM/POLYMER COMPOSITE BARRIER MEMBRANES FOR DENTAL, CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL AND ORTHOPEDIC APPLICATIONS AND MANUFACTURING METHODS

摘要

The invention relates to magnesium reinforcements and magnesium-reinforced barrier membranes for use in biomedical applications, such as dental, craniofacial and orthopedic applications. The magnesium reinforcements and barrier membranes are composed of a biodegradable, magnesium/polymer composite. They can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as, but not limited to, vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation, guided bone/tissue regeneration, periodontal bone regeneration, fracture fixation and orthopedic and spinal bone grafting applications; as well as in general surgery (hernia repair) and urogynecological surgery.
