The present invention provides an orthopedic implant comprising a continuous reinforced composite filament in a freely predetermined fiber orientation in multiple continuous successive layers, wherein the continuous reinforced composite filament comprises a bioabsorbable polymer matrix and a continuous bioabsorbable reinforcing fiber or fiber bundle, and whereby the continuous bioabsorbable reinforcing fiber or fiber bundle of consecutive layers at least partly intermingles and/or intertwines forming a three dimensionally interlocked continuous fiber structure.

Orthopedic bioabsorbable implants

The invention relates to a bioabsorbable surgical osteosynthesis plate, operable to be secured by at least one fastener through at least one fastener opening formed in the plate to a bone. The osteosynthesis plate has first and second surfaces, and it is formed to one piece from a bioabsorbable polymer material that is oriented multiaxially and is substantially rigid and substantially deformable at a first thermochemical state. The plate comprises an oblique (diagonal) orientation gradient in relation to the direction of a reference axis of the plate.
