Definitions
- the present invention relates to a biological member made of a ceramic sintered body, a method for manufacturing the same, and an artificial joint.
- Alumina ceramics and zirconia ceramics are biologically inert materials and, because of their excellent mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, are being applied to artificial joints and artificial roots as medical materials. I have.
- the combination of alumina or zirconia ceramics and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is said to be less likely to wear and less prone to defects than metal, so the ceramic head has an ultrahigh Molecular polyethylene has been employed (see Patent Document 1).
- Non-Patent Document 1 alumina and zirconia are compounded at a fixed ratio, attention is paid to the fact that a higher strength can be obtained than each single substance due to the effect of refining crystal grains (for example, Non-Patent Document 1). reference).
- Patent Document 3 a material having excellent wear resistance at a low manufacturing cost is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4).
