Title: Jonathan McGlohorn and Bone Void Filler Innovation.

Introduction

Jonathan McGlohorn is an inventor associated with Pomaria, South Carolina, and Therics, Inc. His patent work addresses the design and manufacture of bone void filler pieces intended to pack efficiently within a cavity and support bone ingrowth. McGlohorn is named on 1 patent.

Latest Patents

McGlohorn’s patent, “Bone Void Filler and Method of Manufacture,” describes pieces designed to nest or pack together when placed in a cavity in random orientations. The invention aims for higher bulk packing density and porosity below 80%, with the goal of better matching the rate of native bone ingrowth. It also describes a bimodal pore distribution, including a high frequency of smaller pores to improve the density characteristics of the filler pieces.

The manufacturing method uses a precursor powder composition to form a ceramic matrix. A preform is converted into the final composition through a chemical reaction, while a porogen decomposes into gaseous products when heated.

Career Highlights

McGlohorn’s documented patent contribution focuses on biomaterials and the engineering of bone void fillers. The invention combines material composition, pore structure, and manufacturing methods to address how filler pieces pack within a cavity and accommodate bone ingrowth.

Collaborations

McGlohorn is associated with Therics, Inc. His listed coworkers include Sunil Saini and Mahesh Krishnan.

Conclusion

Jonathan McGlohorn’s patent presents an approach to bone void filler design that brings together efficient packing, controlled porosity, and a ceramic-based manufacturing process.
