Abstract

Titanschraube für Körperimplantate, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie eine Oberflächenbeschichtung auf Stickstoff- oder Kohlenstoff-Basis aufweist in Form einer im PVD- oder CVD-Verfahren aufgebrachten TiN-Beschichtung oder einer DLC-Beschichtung.titanium screw for body implants, by doing so characterized in that they a surface coating based on nitrogen or carbon in the form of an im PVD or CVD method applied TiN coating or a DLC coating.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Titanschraube für Körperimplantate.The Invention is directed to a titanium screw for body implants.

Derartige Schrauben werden aus Titan hergestellt, weil Titan eine hohe Biokompatibilität aufweist ( DE 85 28 004 U1 ).Such screws are made of titanium, because titanium has a high biocompatibility ( DE 85 28 004 U1 ).

Titanschrauben werden einerseits direkt in die Knochen eingeschraubt, andererseits werden sie in ein korrespondierendes Gewinde eingedreht, um auf diese Weise ein Implantat zu fixieren oder Teile zu verbinden. Beispielsweise kann mit Hilfe einer solchen Schraube ein Verbindungsteil einer Versteifungsanordnung an einem Femur- oder Tibia-Schaft angeschraubt werden.titanium screws on the one hand screwed directly into the bone, on the other hand they are screwed into a corresponding thread to open this way of fixing an implant or joining parts. For example can with the help of such a screw a connecting part of a Stiffening arrangement screwed to a femoral or tibial shaft become.

Dabei tritt das Problem auf, daß Titan zum Kaltverschweißen neigt, woraus beim Einschrauben ein Knarren resultiert. Dies hat zur Folge, daß der die Schraube drehende Operateur kein Gefühl dafür ausbringen kann, ob die Schraube schon den gewünschten festen Sitz erzielt hat. Es besteht also die Gefahr, daß der Operateur subjektiv meint, die Schraube sitze schon fest, obwohl der vollständige Verschraubungszustand noch nicht erreicht ist.there the problem arises that titanium for cold welding tends to give a creaking when screwed in. this has with the result that the The screw-rotating surgeon can not muster a feel for whether the screw already the desired firm seat. So there is a risk that the surgeon subjectively means that the screw is already stuck, although the complete screwed state not yet reached.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Titanschraube der in Betracht stehenden Art so auszubilden, daß dieses Problem vermieden wird.Of these, Based on the object of the invention, a titanium screw the type in question in such a way that avoids this problem becomes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Titanschraube gelöst, die die im Patentanspruch 1 oder 2 angegebenen Merkmale aufweist.These Task is according to the invention with a Solved titanium screw, having the features specified in claim 1 or 2 features.

Es ist vorgesehen, daß eine TiN-Beschichtung aufgebracht ist, und zwar entweder im PVD- (Physical vapour deposition) oder im CVD- (Chemical vapour deposition) Verfahren, oder eine Beschichtung aufgebracht ist in Form einer sogenannten DLC-Beschichtung, d.h. einer Kohlenstoff-Beschichtung, die als "diamondlike carbon" bezeichnet wird. Diese Beschichtung kann in einem PVD- oder CVD-Prozeß mit oder ohne Metall-Kathode aufgebracht werden.It is provided that a TiN coating is applied, either in PVD (Physical vapor deposition) or in the CVD (Chemical vapor deposition) method, or a coating is applied in the form of a so-called DLC coating, i.e. a carbon coating, the as "diamondlike carbon " becomes. This coating can be used in a PVD or CVD process with or without metal cathode be applied.

Eine Alternative besteht in einer Beschichtung, die im Plasma-Ionen-Immersions-Implantations-Verfahren aufgebracht ist. Hierdurch werden in das Titangitter auf Zwischengitterplätze Stickstoff-Ionen eingebracht, wobei die Stickstoffkonzentration von außen nach innen abnimmt. An der Oberfläche bildet sich keramisches Titannitrid aus, wobei die Oberfläche besonders hart ist und sich zur Innenseite hin ein Härtegradient ausbildet, so daß sprungartig Härteänderungen vermieden werden. Hierdurch werden besonders vorteilhafte Einschraubeigenschaften erzielt, insbesondere ergibt sich ein knarrfreier, kontinuierlicher Eindrehvorgang.A Alternative consists in a coating, in the plasma ion immersion implantation method is applied. As a result, in the titanium grid on interstitial sites nitrogen ions introduced, the nitrogen concentration from the outside to decreases inside. Forming on the surface ceramic titanium nitride, the surface especially is hard and forms a hardness gradient to the inside, so that sudden changes in hardness be avoided. As a result, particularly advantageous screwing properties are achieved, In particular, there is a creak-free, continuous screwing.
