Description

Composite absorbable implant, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical implants, and relates to a composite absorbable implant, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Currently, medical implants are widely used in human tissue repair, and these implant products have a high degree of tissue compatibility in the human body. Often these implants are implanted in the human body for therapeutic purposes, but are not degradable in the human body and need to be removed by a further surgery. Therefore, even if a material having high biocompatibility is implanted in the human body for a long period of time, rejection reaction may occur.
In order to solve a series of problems caused by non-degradable materials after surgery, one approach is to develop implants that are degradable in vivo. The degradable implant interacts with physiological processes or tissues of the medium in the body, resulting in progressive degradation of the implant material. These materials decrease over time in the body and the implant eventually degrades and the degradation products are absorbed by the body without the need for secondary surgery. However, the mechanical properties of the artificially synthesized or natural absorbable polymer are insufficient, the high mechanical strength cannot be born, the degradable polymer represented by the high mechanical property of the levorotatory polylactic acid has high brittleness, the impact resistance is poor, and the brittleness of the material is further increased after the activity of the inorganic biological material is enhanced; degradable polymers, represented by polycaprolactone, which are superior in softness, have low tensile strength and low elastic modulus, while implants must meet specific requirements of elastic modulus, toughness and plasticity. Unfortunately, most polymers cause inflammation during the absorption process of degradable polymers, resulting in severe intimal hyperplasia or thrombotic occlusion.
Some researchers have attempted to develop a metallic alloy for absorbable bioerodible metals to overcome the shortcomings of degradable polymers. Corrodible metal alloys are selected from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, iron, zinc and aluminum, while metals or alloys of magnesium, iron, zinc are particularly suitable as implant materials, these metals being used in combination with manganese, cobalt, nickel, chromium, copper, cadmium, lead, tin, thorium, zirconium, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, silicon, calcium, lithium, aluminum for improving the metal properties. Although advances have been made in the field of bioerodible metal alloys, it is known that alloys have limited use in applications due to material properties such as strength and corrosion behavior. Compared with other metals, the magnesium alloy has relatively high biological corrosion speed, uneven relative corrosion, higher corrosion speed towards the later stage and relatively low strength.
US20040098108A1 discloses a metal implant which, after having completed a temporary support function, degrades at a suitable rate so as to avoid the negative effects of long-term implantation. The main components of the material are self-alkali metals, alkaline earth metals comprise magnesium, iron, zinc and aluminum, and manganese, cobalt, nickel, chromium, copper, cadmium, lead, tin, thorium, zirconium, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, rhenium, silicon, calcium and lithium are taken as auxiliary components.
US20080103594 discloses an absorbable medical implant composite material, the implant being made of a bioerodible alloy selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, iron and yttrium. Suitable metallic elements, which provide higher strength and delayed in vivo corrosion.
CN109881238A discloses an active coating with self-healing function coated on the surface of magnesium base, firstly, adopting micro-arc oxidation technology to prepare porous magnesium oxide coating containing phosphorus and calcium on the surface of magnesium or magnesium alloy, then using spin-coating deposition method to spin-coat a layer of F-msns@plla coating on the porous magnesium oxide coating containing phosphorus and calcium, finally using dipping deposition method to obtain DCPD coating with high osseointegration effect on the surface. According to the invention, a layer of magnesium oxide and F-MSNs@PLLA are coated on the surface of the magnesium material in sequence to form the dicalcium phosphate layer for slowing down the early-stage excessively rapid degradation of magnesium.
CN105377318A discloses a bioabsorbable biomedical implant. The implant includes a tubular stent comprising a plurality of interconnected polymeric struts. The interconnected polymeric struts define a plurality of deformable cells. The polymer struts have an average thickness of no more than 150 μm. Also disclosed are methods for making the bioabsorbable biomedical implants, including methods for making fiber-reinforced polymer composites for tubular stents.
However, the absorbable polymer in the prior art has poor mechanical properties, some degradation products are slightly acidic, the metal degradation is too fast, the degradation is not uniform, the degradation products are alkaline, the solubility is poor, the metal degradation speed is low and fast, and the supporting effect in the early stage and the middle stage cannot be met; the local acidity of some polyester-based polymer degradation and the local basicity of metal degradation products can lead to tissue damage. Currently, ceramic reinforced composites, especially anisotropic ceramic and polymer composites, are disordered in the arrangement of the anisotropic ceramic, the polymer segments are entangled, unable to stretch, and the properties of the absorbable implanted surface are very important, they affect subsequent interactions between the material and tissues and cells, such as cell adhesion, protein adsorption, and tissue inflammation, thus limiting the good function of the composite in the human body.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a composite absorbable implant that has relatively stable mechanical properties during repair, controllable metal degradation, uniform degradation rate, and can interact with tissue microenvironment, and promote better proliferation and growth of cells, and a method for preparing the same, and uses thereof.

As can be seen from Table 1, the inventive implants significantly improved the tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composite materials using the preparation methods for examples 1-11 and comparative examples 1-8. In the degradation liquid after 6 months, the mechanical property of the implant is still maintained to be more than 70 percent.
As can be seen from the data of examples 1-5, changing the ratio of magnesium metal increases the tensile strength, flexural modulus.
Example 6 increasing the amount of degradable composite fibers will result in a significant increase in flexural strength, flexural modulus.
Examples 7-8 the increase in nano-hydroxyapatite in the degradable composite fiber resulted in improved flexural strength and flexural modulus.
Example 9 tensile strength and flexural strength were improved after substituting hydroxyapatite in the degradable composite fiber with short ultrafine magnesium filaments.
Example 10 changes the drawing speed, magnesium filament drawing speed, favoring polymer and hydroxyapatite orientation, and improves the tensile strength and bending strength.
