Abstract

The present disclosure provides, inter alia, devices comprising membranes of antimicrobial titanium oxide. Such a film may be in an anatase phase and may be of sufficient thickness to impart a visually perceivable color to the device. The device can be an implant, a strut, or even a fastener. Also provided are methods of making such devices, as well as kits featuring the disclosed devices.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to US Patent Application 61 / 606,152, filed March 2, 2012, entitled "Anodized Titanium Devices and Related Methods," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for any and all purposes. technical field [0003] This disclosure relates to the field of biomechanical implants and to the field of anodized metals. Background technique [0004] Titanium is suitable for various medical implant applications due to its high strength, low weight and corrosion resistance. Since harmful microbial growth is a concern in medical implant technology, some have attempted to construct titanium implants featuring titanium oxide coatings. However, such coatings suffer from poor adhesion to the underlying implant structure, are prone to delamination, and are also associated with a significant reduction in fatigue strength. Accordingly, there is a long felt need in the art for titanium implant stru...
