JIG FOR POST-PROCESSING OF CUSTOMIZED ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016615 titled 'JIG FOR POST-PROCESSING OF CUSTOMIZED ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a jig used in post-processing a customized orthopedic implant for artificial hip joint surgery. The jig is designed to securely fix the customized metal implant without causing any surface damage. The jig consists of inner jigs 3D printed using a polymer resin material to compress and fix the implant, and outer jigs made of metal to press and support the inner jigs in the compression direction. The customized metal implant, manufactured by a 3D printer based on the shape and damage degree of a patient's hip joint, is securely fixed to the jig without any surface damage, allowing for easy post-processing of the implant.
