Technical field
The present invention relates to be used to make cathode arc ion plasma (ion plasma) depositing operation of the metallic coating of modification, the metallic coating of this modification is used on the surface of the device that is used for medical applications and material and forms the germ resistance surface.Especially, the present invention relates to a kind of technology that is used at highly controlled condition deposit silver (Ag) and other germ resistance metals or their composition, have the adhesivity of improvement and in the time period that prolongs, keep active antiseptic paint with formation.
Background technology
Verified metal is as the sterilization idiocratic of silver, zinc, niobium, tantalum, hafnium, zirconium, titanium, chromium, nickel, copper, platinum and gold.In these metals, the silver of ion or compound form is to be widely known by the people most and the most widely used germ resistance metal.Simple substance silver (elemental silver) has certain germ resistance advantage, but it uses inoperative for most of germ resistancies usually.As the oxide compound to silver carry out coating and be coated with China ink cause they reactive behavior and the observation of deliquescent reduction shown in, it is believed that the silver of oxidised form has more activity as antibiont.
People have attempted to utilize the generally acknowledged chemical process based on solution, are used for improving silver-colored reactivity by the oxide compound of silver and the making of composition of silver and other materials.U.S. Patent No. 4,828,832 have described such as the argent salts solution of Silver Nitrate salt brine solution and oxygenant such as benzoyl peroxide and have been combined in the application of treatment skin in infecting.
U.S. Patent No. 5,824,267 have disclosed on the surface of plastics and have embedded silver metal particles and pottery or alkali metal particles to give the plastics antimicrobial characteristic.Ultrafine silver metal particles obtains from the silver metal salt brine solution by chemical deposition.
Can provide silver although produce silver-colored particulate solution methods with anti-microbial activity, very little to the control of the silver-colored grain pattern that obtains, so these methods are limited in their application.And, such as some ionic species of silver nitrate aqueous solution, because potential to the pungency of skin, so be hyperactivity for great majority are used, therefore must carefully be monitored and be controlled.Another problem based on the chemical process of solution is to form stable composition under the situation that does not produce harmful side product.The silver ions that is attached in slurry, coating, polymkeric substance or the gel trends towards having short shelf life, in part because that take place and side reactions various components in the solution based on water.
There is tangible demand for the germ resistance surface that can produce the release of germ resistance metal ion persistence.The surface energy that produces the release of germ resistance ionic persistence is useful especially in operation and wound dressing and bandage, operating sutures, conduit and other medical treatment devices, implant, dummy (prosthetics), oral application thing (dental application) and tissue regeneration.Other devices that also can benefit from the lasting release of anti-bacterial material comprise: medical instruments and surface, surface, restaurant (restaurant surface), face shield, clothes, keeper and other fixtures, swimming pool, hot basin (hot tub), tap water strainer, cooling system, porous hydrophilic material, humidifier and air conditioning system.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,886, the method that the persistence that is used to produce metal ion discharges has been described in 505.According to this method, use such as first metal of silver and this device of second washing that is connected in first metal by switch (switch) such as platinum.In the presence of body fluid, the existence of silver metal and platinum has caused generation galvanic effect (galvanicaction), and it is used for discharging or disengaging silver ions.Discharge by controlling ionic at the switch of device peripheral operation.
The technology that applies electric current in wound dressings that applies silver or medical treatment device also is a U.S. Patent No. 4,219,125 and No.4, and 411,648 theme.Although the use of external switch controller or foreign current can improve the speed that metal ion discharges, this peripheral control unit or electric current are not to be feasible to various application.
U.S. Patent No. 6,365,220 have described to be used to make and a kind ofly provide persistence to discharge the germ resistance ion and need not the method that foreign current is kept the germ resistance surface of this release.According to this disclosure content, by sputter or evaporation technology, with the multiple layer metal thin film deposition on matrix (substrate).By using different metal composites, and adopt etching technique so that the surface roughening of layer or have texture can produce multiple microbedding (microlayer) interface at different layers.When being exposed to body fluid, multiple interface can provide ionic to discharge by galvanic couple and non-galvanic effect.
U.S. Patent No. 5,837,275 have also disclosed the germ resistance ionic antiseptic paint that lasting release is provided.Prepare coating by the sputtering technology that utilizes the particular deposition parameter.Coating is described to present the metallic film of " atom is mixed and disorderly ", and claims that its lasting release for metal ion is necessary.
It is said Tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag 4O 4) orderly monocrystalline can be used for treating skin disease (U.S. Patent No. 6,258,385) as antiseptic-germicide.But except that local the use, this mixture is also impracticable, and it can (that is, some days) provide the ability of the lasting release of anti-bacterial material also not to be confirmed in over a long time.
Usually, the deposition of anti-bacterial material is limited to of three kinds of peculiar methods being used for preparing silver and silver suboxide coating.In these methods each all has important disadvantages, and does not have a kind of being developed to can prepare the germ resistance film that has high-adhesiveness and be evenly distributed on the surface of medical treatment device and apparatus effectively.Normally used process condition such as sputter, dipping and ion beam assisted depositing, is prepared for flexible substrate or elastic devices and is had limited adhering coating.In a large amount of treatment time of cost, in order to increase adhesive power, extra layer is necessary sometimes.
By cathode arc metallic substance is deposited on the matrix in a vacuum and is well known in the art.Contrast other plasma evaporation deposition method, ion plasma deposition (IPD) can prepare highly purified intensive polycomponent coating, described at U.S. Patent Application Publication No. No.2004/0185182.But traditional cathodic arc deposition method has some shortcoming.Because target material invalid used and lacks the waste that particle control has caused expensive material.Lack the formation that the control for the treatment of deposition material has caused particles of different sizes, this has just caused the deposition of non-uniform coating.Usually, cathode arc technology also requires matrix surface is heated to very high temperature, and this can destroy body material, and has seriously limited the selection of matrix.

Embodiment
The invention provides the advantage that some are better than this area antiseptic paint and are used to deposit other states of antiseptic paint technology, comprising: controllably discharge, make coating embed in the matrix, for the lower operating temperature of some material, than turnout, the measurability of the traditional remarkable improvement of cathode arc technology on working (machining) efficiency and can be applicable to the more body material of wide region.
In addition, obtain the good coating of utilizing traditional IPD method to be difficult to obtain, comprised silver suboxide, cupric oxide and hafnium nitride coating.Than more expensive method (such as in U.S. Patent No. 5,454, generalized in 886, it is introduced therewith as a reference), under suitable thickness, these materials have higher anti-microbial activity.Therefore, by adopting new method, can realize having the thinner coating and the shorter treatment time of identical antibiotic effect based on IPD.Higher turnout is possible, and it can cause the saving of production cost, and especially this is very significant advantage for medicine industry.
The factor of giving the film that utilizes disclosed technology and obtain with this superiority is to find new IPD technology to have produced the sedimentary increase of heavy ion (but not reduction) in fact it improved the quality of film.For many years for technicians, in the use of conventional cathode arc deposited technology, the most significant trend is to reduce oarse-grained deposition, so that produce cleaner and more uniform film.Understanding traditional in the industry is that macrobead is disadvantageous for the quality of deposit film usually.
The present invention relates to a kind of technology that on selected body material, deposits anti-bacterial material.This matrix can be an any materials, such as metal, pottery, plastics, glass, flexible sheets, porous paper, pottery or their combination.Although matrix can comprise any in the multiple device, preferred especially medical treatment device.These medical treatment devices comprise conduit, implant, support, tracheal catheter, orthopedic pin, splitter, flow diverter, prosthetic device, tooth implant, dressing and wound closure (wound closures).Yet, should be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to these devices, can extend to the device that other are used for medical field, such as face shield, clothes, operational tool and surface.
About implanting to infect two important factors are arranged: the introducing of bacterium in the implant surgery process; And the skin openings after the operation.Transcutaneous device (transdermal device) is main infected zone.Because device is separated with skin, between skin and device, formed the slit, bacterial contamination has just taken place.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to being used for tuned germ resistance surface or other composition be provided to and is used for improvement that human body and beasts medical treatment device and other use and more economical method.Anti-bacterial material can be any solid material or the combination with material of antimicrobial characteristic.Preferable material is the metal with potential antimicrobial characteristic and biocompatibility (that is, not being damaged in the purpose environment).These metals comprise silver, zinc, niobium, tantalum, hafnium, zirconium, titanium, chromium, nickel, copper, platinum and gold (being also referred to as " germ resistance metal " in this article).According to the present invention, by in a vacuum the negative pole of target metal being ionized into the plasma body of particulate constituent, make the germ resistance metal deposition on matrix surface or among.The ion plasma deposition device, those (its content is incorporated in this for your guidance) described in International Patent Application Publication No. WO 03-044240 for example, can make amendment according to the present invention, and be used for implementing the controllability deposition of anti-bacterial material according to described method.
The factor of giving the film that utilizes disclosed technology and obtain with this superiority is to find new IPD technology to have produced the sedimentary increase of heavy ion (but not reduction) in fact it improved the quality of film.For many years for technicians, in the use of conventional cathode arc deposited technology, the most significant trend is to reduce oarse-grained deposition, so that produce cleaner and more uniform film.Understanding traditional in the industry is that macrobead is disadvantageous for the quality of deposit film usually.
By contrast, had been found that the increase of macrobead content has formed the effective way of the anti-microbial activity of controlled oxidation silver film.For silver is released into surrounding tissue rapidly, can adopt the thick oarse-grained pure AgO coating that do not contain fully.For further tuning release, utilized time-delay release embodiments (time-release scheme).
When utilizing cathode arc to be coated with to be deposited upon on the matrix, the corresponding amount of the macroparticle that may command ejects from target.Macroparticle is to eject and the metal droplets (blob) that is not gasified totally from target.These metal droplets are intensive, and are made up of pure target material.Usually, the surface of these metal droplets is charged, and most of materials then are electric neutrality.
When macroparticle when the plasma body, its outside surface is oxidized, has formed that a kind of particle outside has the AgO coating and the structure of inner " sugar of parcel " shape for fine silver.This just plays the capsular effect that similar time-delay discharges.
Because " shell " produced the effect that time-delay discharges in the shakiness setting of intrinsic AgO outer " shell " and the more stable fine silver.The silver suboxide exterior coating relatively promptly discharges its anti-microbial activity, has killed any bacterium in the peripheral region.In dispose procedure, inner fine silver is oxidized and discharge lentamente so that keep anti-microbial activity in for some time.The length of time is determined by the size of macroparticle.Therefore, can design the oarse-grained specific coating of specific dimensions, in the selected time period, to keep anti-microbial activity.Keep the length of active time as required, the size range of macroparticle is 10nm to 10 micron usually.
Wash-out is an important factor in anti-microbial activity; Yet the content of the silver that wash-out goes out is relevant with the anti-microbial activity of Ag/AgO coating unit.To anti-infective and formation microbial film, eluting rate must take place with certain level for effectively.Minimum eluting rate is about Ag of 0.005mg (0.0048mg/ square inch) per square inch.In at least 60 days, the anti-microbial activity of the silver suboxide coating by method presently disclosed preparation will be by this eluting rate wash-out.Silver/silver suboxide coating by the additive method preparation can be with constant rate wash-out above 7 days.
Another important feature of the present invention is the ability with silver suboxide coating flush mounting surface, therefore than the coating by other deposition, has obtained better adhesivity.Can control embedding technology by utilizing the electric arc control method at a distance of the specific distance of target,, can reach 10nm and darker embedding coating for metal and pottery so that obtain to reach 100nm and bigger for plastics.
The suitable device that is used to implement ion plasma deposition technology has been shown among Fig. 1.As shown in Figure 1, the negative electrode 1 with target material deposits in vacuum chamber 4.By by the energy 5 energy that provides that is applied on this negative electrode, on this negative electrode, make negative electrode 1 ionization by producing electric charge.By mobile matrix 2 near or select, control plasma components or make it point to matrix away from the controlling organization 3 of target 1.
Can also utilize the extra control of power supply 6 as shown in Figure 2, so that the control of article on plasma body component further to be provided by the control arc speed.
For example, be under the situation of silver at desired antibacterial metal, silver cathode and selected matrix are placed the vacuum chamber of ion plasma deposition device.Although also can use the silver metal of low-purity, the silver that is used as negative electrode is preferably medical grade silver (that is, purity is 99.99%), to avoid any potential toxicant.
Vacuum chamber is pumped to suitable operating pressure, and scope is 0.1mT to 30mT usually; Yet, the particular job pressure that IPD technology is effectively made the ability on the germ resistance surface with lasting release rate and do not relied on any common scope is 0.1mT to 30mT.Similarly, ion plasma deposition technology and do not rely on service temperature.Usually the scope of service temperature is 25 ℃ to 75 ℃, and the arbitrary temp in this scope all is applicable to makes the germ resistance surface.
Matrix can pass the deposition region with respect to (as on rotating disk) or the coiling that any direction of deposition material injection is rotated.Supply electric energy to produce electric arc to negative electrode at negative electrode.Be suitable under the voltage of source material, this electric energy is that scope is at several amperes of electric currents to the hundreds of ampere.Usually, voltage range is 12 volts to 60 volts, and the adjusting that suits of the size of corresponding source material, this size can be several inches to some feet.Electric arc with the silver metal cathodic electricity from being the plasma body of silver ions, electroneutral particle and electronics.Usually, oxygen is incorporated in the plasma body, and combines to form the silver suboxide particle with silver ions with the speed of 10sccm to 1000sccm.According to the required ion release rate and the end-use of matrix, the silver suboxide particle can have scope for from less than 1 nanometer to about 50 microns size of particles.
In order to obtain the effective release rate in one period time length, can also control the metal ion release rate on germ resistance surface.Be deposited on the matrix by composition, obtained this controlled metal and discharged the oxide compound (comprising unit price, two valency and multivalence oxide compound) of various structures.The combination of oxide compound presents different ion release rates, the control that its persistence to ionic concn and metal ion that has caused being used to improving anti-microbial activity discharges.Because they are oxidized in plasma body, the multivalence oxide compound can also form on the neutral metal particle.The composition of oxide compound that can be by forming various size and valence state has further strengthened the lasting release of deposition material.The benefit of this composition is the growth that ion discharges in the long time cycle.Silver oxide particle is deposited on matrix surface with the form of silver oxide particle dispersion then.
The validity of germ resistance surface in transmitting antibiotic response (anti-microbial) depends on the treatment time that is used to form this germ resistance surface.Formed germ resistance surface from 5 seconds to some minutes long treatment time with different antibiotic responses.
Also can be deposited on and obtain controlled metal release on the matrix by composition with different metal oxides.These compositions comprise silver and titanium, silver and gold and silver and copper, silver-bearing copper and gold.Other material can be used as a plurality of layers of codeposition metal, alloy or the alternative of conduct in various combinations and combination.The control of plasma environment and adaptability have allowed wider composition, and correspondingly, the customization coating of a wide region.
Further specify the present invention by following non-limiting examples.
