Method for controlling the coalescence of particles forming a porous structure, such as a bone implant.

摘要

Method for controlling the coalescence of the particles forming a structure subjected to a treatment intended to produce the connection of said particles by bridges, process in which at least recorded a physical quantity whose evolution is measurable continuous and with which the connection bridges the particles have a correlation, and thereby causing discontinuation when said physical quantity has reached a corresponding predetermined value to the desired coalescence, said physical quantity contraction of said structure, said process being characterized coalescence of the particles is obtained by chemical dilution with a solvent with which said structure is impregnated and then partially removed, so that it remains a thin film of solvent on said particles, and wherein the extent of contraction is carried out by measuring the evolution of l thickness of the structure in a certain direction.
