METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A TUBULAR SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT FOR A SCAFFOLD OF AN IMPLANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042504 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A TUBULAR SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT FOR A SCAFFOLD OF AN IMPLANT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for producing a tubular semi-finished product for an implant scaffold using a magnesium alloy. The method involves extruding the semi-finished product through a heated die or tempering an extruded semi-finished product using a heating device. A tube drawing device applies a tensile stress and/or a torsional stress to the semi-finished product, with a clamping device fixed on a predefined portion of the product to transfer the generated force or moment.

  • The method involves extruding or tempering a tubular semi-finished product made of a magnesium alloy.
  • A tube drawing device applies a tensile stress and/or a torsional stress to the semi-finished product.
  • The tube drawing device includes a clamping device fixed on a predefined portion of the product.
  • The tensile force or torsion moment generated by the tube drawing device is transferred to the semi-finished product.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Production of tubular semi-finished products for implant scaffolds.
  • Manufacturing of medical devices or implants using magnesium alloys.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improves the dilatability of the implant scaffold.
  • Enhances the mechanical properties of the tubular semi-finished product.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased flexibility and adaptability of the implant scaffold.
  • Improved mechanical strength and durability of the semi-finished product.
  • Potential for more efficient and cost-effective production of medical devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for producing a tubular semi-finished product for an implant scaffold which leads to an improvement of the dilatability of the scaffold. the semi-finished product consists of a magnesium alloy. the method includes extruding a tubular semi-finished product by a heated die or tempering an extruded tubular semi-finished product by a heating device. a tube drawing device applies a tensile stress and/or a torsional stress. the tube drawing device has a clamping device. the clamping device is fixed on a predefined portion of the tubular semi-finished product. tensile force generated by the tube drawing device and/or the torsion moment generated by the tube drawing device is transferred to the semi-finished product.
