An implant that couples a first bone and a second bone includes a body that defines a first joint surface, a second joint surface, and a median plane. The first joint surface includes a first central region that articulates with the first bone. The second joint surface includes a second central region that articulates with the second bone, and the second central region is disposed on an opposite side of the median plane of the body relative to the first central region. The first and second central regions correspond to profiles of first and second axial segments, respectively, the first and second axial segments are each one of a cylinder, a cone, and a torus and are centered on first and second axes, respectively, and the first and second axes, as projected on the median plane, are substantially perpendicular to each other. The first joint surface further defines a first peripheral region adjacent the first central region and the first axial segment has a first cross section that has a smaller curvature in the first central region of the first joint surface than in the first peripheral region of the first joint surface.

MEDICAL DEVICE BASED ON BIOCERAMICS, ITS USE AS A SYNTHETIC BONE GRAFT AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

The present invention relates to a medical device manufactured using the additive manufacturing process (3D printing). It is a medical device used preferably as a bone graft composed of a porous structure based on bioceramics based on -tricalcium phosphate (-TCP) or hydroxyapatite, which may or not contain nanostructures in its composition, for example: carbon nanostructures (graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, etc.) and, in preferred embodiments, stem cells and polymeric membrane. Also, the present invention relates to the use of this device as a bone graft and the process of preparing this device.
