The present invention relates to shape memory materials and to a method for controlling shape change in shape memory materials. In particular, the invention relates to a method and a system for forming complex shapes from shape memory materials and to shape memory materials having complex shapes.

Expansion moulding of shape memory polymers

The present disclosure relates to an anchor for fixating a tissue graft to bone. The anchor includes a through hole extending an entire length of the anchor and a polymer composition having shape memory qualities. Other anchors and methods for fixating a tissue graft to bone are also disclosed.

Graft fixation

The present disclosure relates to a shape memory polymer material containing at least one two dimensional region having a first amount of stored stress in a first direction and a second amount of stored stress higher than the first amount of stored stress in a second direction, wherein the two dimensional region is capable of changing shape in only one of the first or second directions.

Orientated polymeric devices

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for installing shape memory polymers relative to orthopedic implants.

Systems and methods for installing and removing an expandable polymer

Tissue fixation devices are provided. The devices include a first component and a second component, the components having different rates of in vivo degradation. The first component and second component are arranged so that, upon degradation of one of the components, the other component provides a scaffold into which bone can grow.

Tissue repair and replacement

The present disclosure relates to a multi-modal shape memory polymer material comprising a blend or at least one polymer component having a first molecular weight and at least a second polymer component having a second molecular weight that is less than the first component.

Multi-modal shape memory polymers

The present disclosure relates to prosthetic implants, components of prosthetic implants, and methods of fixating the components to one another and, especially fixation of the implants to bone.

Prosthetic implants

The present invention relates to polymer compositions namely biodegradable segmented block copolymers comprising polyol residues having a number average molecular weight of at least 4000 Daltons and in that the polyols are connected by actual linkages.

Tunable segmented polyacetal

The present disclosure relates to prosthetic knee implants (), components () of prosthetic knee implants, and methods of fixating the components to one another and, especially fixation of the implants to bone.

Knee and shoulder joint prosthesis

The present disclosure relates to a multi-modal shape memory polymer material comprising a blend of at least one polymer component having a first molecular weight and at least a second polymer component having a second molecular weight that is less than the first component.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber reinforced composite material. In an embodiment, the composite material includes a PLLA fiber material and a matrix material that does not have the same chemical element composition as the fiber material. Other fiber reinforced composite materials are also disclosed.
