Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the preparation method of the medical porous metal implant material that a kind of biocompatibility and biological safety are good, the medical metal that the inventive method makes is implanted porous niobium material and is specially adapted to the medical embedded material as the coupling member at shoulder bone, skull and facial bone tissue injury or damaged place.
The object of the invention is to be achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of preparation method of medical porous metal implant material, adopt foam impregnation method sintering to form, it is characterized in that: be that employing starch is that organic binder bond and distilled water are that solution and the mean diameter that dispersant is mixed with is less than 43 μ m, oxygen content is less than 0.1% niobium powder and makes niobium powder slurry, and be cast in Organic Foam Material, dipping is until Organic Foam Material hole is filled with niobium powder slurry, then be dried and remove the dispersant in the Organic Foam Material that is cast with niobium powder slurry, under inert gas shielding atmosphere, ungrease treatment is to remove organic binder bond and Organic Foam Material, under vacuum, sintering makes porous sintered body, through the pure niobium powder of sintering, pile up on the foam framework forming, niobium powder particles has sintering neck structure each other, under vacuum, annealing and conventional post processing make porous niobium again, the mass percentage concentration of described amidin is 2~6%.
Inventor finds in research process, in the preparation of medical porous niobium embedded material, to the selection of organic adhesive and occupation mode, have exquisite, if improper to its choice and operation, there will be in the porous niobium making the adhesion between niobium powder little, porous niobium surface is inhomogeneous as local overstocked or too lax, the problem of series that the porosity of porous niobium is excessive or too small etc., thus make its biocompatibility and mechanical property thereof not reach medical requirement.
The present invention is that the porous niobium of medical metal implantation purposes finds a kind of practicable preparation method, the present invention adopts starch as binding agent, its low price, because starch is the conventional foods of people, its biological safety of additive while therefore preparing as biomaterial is good; Starch slurry viscosity of the present invention is little, the porosity that starch size floods the sample perforate is larger, at the dry sample surfaces of removing after dispersant, be not prone to the phenomenon of plugging hole gap, moreover, starch just can decompose water outlet and carbon dioxide at low temperatures as Organic substance, improved the purity of sample, made the porous niobium of the medical metal implanted material that makes there is superior bio-compatibility and biological safety; But when the slurry that the starch of take is bonding agent is prepared porous niobium medical embedded material for infusion process, adhesion in the porous niobium making between niobium powder is less, porosity is larger, easily make mechanical property can not be guaranteed, make do not possess practical value as the porous niobium of medical embedded material purposes, therefore conventionally can not consider to using that starch is as the porous niobium of bonding agent employing infusion process preparation as medical embedded material.In research process, inventor also finds, niobium powder be easy to starch and Organic Foam Material in carbon react, easily make the porous niobium medical embedded material impurity content that finally makes raise, affect its biocompatibility and biological safety.But the present invention is by adopting described technological means reasonably to coordinate, make the present invention take that slurry that starch is bonding agent adopts the porous niobium that infusion process makes in the situation that the common mechanical property that does not affect existing porous niobium and had, still can obtain having the porous niobium of sintering neck structure, the mechanical properties such as porous niobium ductility have been improved, for the convenience of porous niobium in medical metal is implanted and the application of actual effect provide good method.The porous niobium that adopts preparation method of the present invention to make is specially adapted to the medical embedded material as the osseous tissue wound of skull, shoulder or the coupling member at the damaged place of bone.Meanwhile, described preparation method technique simply, easily control; Whole preparation process is harmless, pollution-free, nonhazardous dust, and human body is had no side effect.
