Implant With Multi-Layer Bone Interfacing Lattice
An implant includes a body including a substrate and a bone interfacing lattice disposed on the substrate. The bone interfacing lattice includes at least two layers of elongate curved structural members. In addition, the at least two layers of elongate curved structural members include a first layer adjacent the substrate and a second layer adjacent the first layer. Also, the first layer has a first compressibility and the second layer has a second compressibility, wherein the second compressibility is greater than the first compressibility. Further, an interface between the first layer and the second layer is a transition region having a thickness within which the elongate curved structural members of the first layer are intermingled with the elongate curved structural members of the second layer such that a boundary of the first layer overlaps with a boundary of the second layer.
Medical implant and anchoring system for a medical implant
An implant for use in a medical procedure includes an anchor body and a flexible material. The anchor body includes a perimeter sidewall having an upper free edge, an outer surface, and an inner surface. The anchor body also includes a bottom wall, connecting the sidewall on one edge, which has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces of the sidewall and bottom wall define a cavity and the upper free edge of the sidewall defines a top opening into the cavity. The flexible material is connected to the anchor body and is positioned in the cavity with at least a portion extending out of the top opening.
