Title:
Surface modified metallic orthopedic implant for sustained drug release 
Inventor(s):
Debrupa Lahiri, Partha Roy and Manoj Kumar Rangaswamy 
Application type:
Applied - 2017-07-13 
Application Number:
201711024735 
Applied at:
India 
Entered by:
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee 
Abstract:
In an aspect of the invention, there is provided an orthopedic metallic implant for sustained release of drug comprising an interconnected micro porous coating layer of a bioactive ceramic material on the surface of said metallic implant wherein said porous coating comprises pores impregnated with biodegradable polymer containing drug wherein said impregnation of biodegradable polymer containing drug is limited to said pores and the surface of said ceramic layer not covered by said pores remains exposed for enhanced osteo-conductive and mechanical property. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of preparing an orthopedic metallic implant as mentioned above, wherein said method is based on plasma spraying technique and impregnation technique, comprising the steps of: a) Modifying the interconnected micro porous bioactive ceramic coating layer present on said metal implant through plasma spraying technique; b) Loading a drug with compatible biodegradable polymer solution into pores through vacuum impregnation chamber wherein said impregnation of biodegradable polymer containing drug is limited to said pores and surface of said ceramic layer not covered by said pores remains exposed for enhanced osteo-conductive and bone integration properties.  

 
THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
