Application: Scaffold structures and compositions facilitating osseointegration (Patent ID: US20240033092A1)
The patent filed by General Electric Co. pertains to the design, fabrication, and utilization of synthetic scaffold structures to promote bone growth. These scaffold structures consist of repeating units with specific local topologies characterized by parameters like shape index, curvedness, mean curvature, and Gauss curvature. The claims detail the composition and characteristics of the scaffold structures, specifying the percentage of surface area with defined topologies and the materials used, including biologically compatible ceramics, polymers, and metals. Additionally, the claims outline the unit cell sizes of the repeating structures and the curvature values within specific regions for optimal bone growth facilitation.
In summary, the patent focuses on the development of scaffold structures with precise geometric properties to enhance bone growth. By incorporating specific local topologies and curvature values, the scaffold structures aim to provide an environment conducive to bone regeneration. The claims further elaborate on the composition variations, material options, and curvature parameters required for the effective design and fabrication of these synthetic scaffolds, catering to different percentages of surface area coverage and curvature ranges to optimize bone growth outcomes.
