Latest Patent Applications
Lukas Pfister has submitted several notable patent applications. One of his latest applications is for a bone graft substitute that combines high mechanical stability with the advantages of spherical porous granules. This invention allows for the granules to be pushed into a defect without significant breakage, while also promoting bone cell growth in the spaces between the granules. The granules feature indentations on their surface, which significantly increase porosity and provide more space for tissue ingrowth.
Another application is for a bone graft substitute and methods for manufacturing the same. This invention also focuses on the high mechanical stability of spherical porous granules and includes a method for creating the indentations that enhance porosity. The process involves manufacturing the granules, mixing them with a porogen, pressing the porogen into the granules, and then removing it to form the desired indentations.
Conclusion
Lukas Pfister is making significant contributions to the field of bone graft substitutes through his innovative patent applications. His work aims to improve the effectiveness of bone grafting procedures, showcasing his commitment to advancing medical technology.
