Definitions
- the invention relates to a coating, in particular for the characterization and characterization of surgical implants and instruments, and as a diffusion barrier for surgical implants and instruments according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such coatings serve, in particular, as color coding (identification and characterization) different types and sizes of surgical implants or instruments, e.g. Bone plates, bone screws or fferendre ⁇ hern in a simple and secure way to differentiate and thus match the Kompati ⁇ bility of individual components to each other.
- the diameter, drive type e.g., Torx, Hex, right-hand thread, left-hand thread
- other characteristics can be distinguished.
- a suitable coding scheme is known from US Pat. No. 5,597,384 WALKER ET AL, but without mentioning how the coating is applied to the implant surface.
- DLC diamond-like carbon
- a disadvantage of these known color-coding coatings is the fact that many are electrically conductive and therefore subject to corrosion by occurring potential differences.
- these known color coding coatings are partially porous, adhere poorly to the substrate and the color is material-dependent, so that there is only a small margin for coloring.
- the invention aims to remedy this situation.
- the invention has for its object to provide a coating on surgical implants or instruments, which is not susceptible to corrosion, has good biocompatibility and a free, characteristic drawing coloring of the entire color spectrum, as well as diffusion-inhibiting effects on allergenic substances such as nickel or molybdenum (substrate materials).
- the invention solves the problem with a coating having the features of claim 1.
- the advantages achieved by the invention are manifold and include the following aspects: a) colors can be generated from the whole visible spectrum, e.g. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple; b) thanks to the coating according to the invention, no corrosive streams can arise which can damage, detach or dissolve the interference coating; c) it is resistant and protects against chemical and thermal attack; d) the diffusion process is locally suppressed and the release of metal ions from the substrate is greatly reduced; and e) by choosing suitable layer thicknesses and layer materials (i.e., their refractive indices), the desired interference colors can be generated.
- the coatings according to the invention are colorless and transparent on their own (ie transparent), i. they have no or only a weak absorption. For this reason, the coloration does not just come about through the color material or dyes inherent in the layer material, as is the case with conventional industrial paints.
- the simplest technical solution is the single layer.
- This may for example consist of TiO 2 , or their suboxides, " T ⁇ 2 O 3 , Ti 3 O 5, etc., in addition, for example, Ta 2 O 5 , Nb 2 O 5 , ZrO 2 , HfO 2 , or mixtures thereof, ie metal oxides.
- nitrogen compounds eg Si 3 N 4, etc.
- the greatest challenge to the layers are the applied in practice ag ⁇ gressive cleaning treatments, eg. B. Sterilization at 135 ° C, washing in strongly alkaline solutions at pH's around 10 - 12; this at several hundred aufein ⁇ subsequent cycles.
- the destructive mechanisms occurring at the layers are diffusion processes (penetration of moisture or solutions along the boundary and separation surfaces of the layer system, as well as direct external influences on the layer surface, preferably on pores, layer cracks, surface injuries, etc.
- the principle of color generation by dielectric layers on implant surfaces is therefore based on selectively modifying the course of their consistently flat reflection curve (FIG. 1) in order to produce the required color effects.
- the interference layer consists of a homogeneous material, i. a constant material in terms of chemical composition, morphology and refractive index.
- the interference layer may also be inhomogeneous and in particular consist of a material whose refractive index varies continuously in a direction perpendicular to the interference layer (as in a "rugate filter"). Furthermore, it is advantageous if the interference layer is corrosion-resistant and preferably does not adversely affect the corrosion resistance of the surface of the implant or of the instrument.

- the application of the described color coded to medical implants and surgical instruments thus does not correspond to the conventional colorization process, such as painting or spraying on surfaces.
- the vacuum coating technologies described above are used. All of these methods are known standard methods in optics and electronics, for example when applying reflection-reducing layers on lenses (cameras, binoculars, microscopes, etc.) or spectacle lenses, the coating of wafers in chip production, or the application of hard layers (eg B. Ion Plating method) on tools (drills, punching tools) to increase their service life.
- Ion sources can assist in this process by first cleaning the surface before coating by removing the uppermost atomic layers of the substrate, as well as later by compaction of the layer by layers are switched on. It may also be possible to reoxidize the interference layer with O 2 , for example in a circulating air tempering furnace.
- An electropolished bone screw was subjected to a multi-stage ultrasonic washing process in alkaline solution with a final cleaning in deionized water for 10 minutes.
- the bone screw was inserted with tweezers into a clamp holder and the latter into a vacuum chamber and anchored on the carrier provided for this purpose. 4. After all openings of the vacuum chamber which was evacuated to about 5 x 10 " ⁇ mbar and a heating of the bone screw by means Sub ⁇ strattropicung to 300 0 C.
- the crucible of the evaporation source was brought to the evaporation temperature of the vaporized material (about 2000 0 C).
- the coating was carried out for 10 minutes until a layer thickness of 65 nm was measured with a suitable layer thickness measuring device (quartz crystal or optical monitor) and the aperture again covered the crucible of the evaporation source.
