Definitions
- the present teachings relate to porous metal implants and methods of manufacture.
- Porous metal implants are used to promote ingrowth of surrounding bony tissue and soft tissues into the implant. When the porosity, integrity and continuity of the metals are sufficient, porous implants serve as a scaffold for tissue ingrowth to provide the desired load-bearing strength to the implant site.
- the porous implants can be formed by removing pieces from a metal substrate, such as by etching a solid piece of metal.
- the implants can also be formed by using small metal particles such as powders. Where metal powders are used, multi-step heat and pressure application steps can compromise the desired integrity and load-bearing strength of the implant due to shifts in the structure during initial molding and when transferring the implant between the various furnaces, pressure chambers, machining apparatus, etc. Furthermore, temperatures and pressures must accommodate the removal of foaming agents or spacing agents without further compromising the implant. These multiple considerations in forming the implant limit the formation of complex shapes from the starting materials because switching between the various pressing, heating, shaping, and other processing steps can cause the implant to become misshapen. In other systems using metal powders, a binding or interface layer must be used in order to attach the porous structure to a substrate. Many of these methods use different metals to form the substrate and the porous layer, leading to corrosion and a reduction in the life span of the implant.
- porous metal implant which has one or more of these properties: a desirable porosity, is shaped and processed easily, readily forms three-dimensional complex shapes, maintains its intended shape throughout the various processing steps, promotes soft and hard tissue ingrowth, and is suitable for load-bearing applications.
- the present teachings provide methods for preparing a porous metal implant comprising: preparing a mixture of a biocompatible metal powder; a spacing agent; and a non-polar liquid binder, where the spacing agent is substantially insoluble in the non-polar liquid binder.
- the mixture is formed into a shape and the non-polar liquid binder and the spacing agent are removed from the mixture to form a plurality of pores within the metal implant.
- the biocompatible metal powder can.be selected from titanium, titanium alloys, cobalt, cobalt alloys, chromium, chromium alloys, tantalum, tantalum alloys, and stainless steel.
- the biocompatible metal powder can have a particle size of from about 5 micrometers to about 1500 micrometers.

- a porous metal implant 10 can be formed from a mixture of a metal powder 12, a spacing agent 14, and a non- polar liquid binder 16.
- the porous metal implant 10 is formed by heating the mixture to a temperature sufficient to remove the spacing agent 14 and non- polar liquid binder 16 thereby leaving a plurality of pores 18 between the interconnected metal powder 12 particles.

- the spacing agent 14 provides the pores 18 of the porous metal implant 10.
- the spacing agent 14 can be removable from the mixture and it may be desirable if the spacing agent 14 does not leave residue in the porous metal implant 10. It may be further desirable that the spacing agent 14 expands or contracts to supplement the formation of pores 18 of a desired size within the porous metal implant 10.
- the spacing agent 14 can be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, urea, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium carbamate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, naphthalene, and mixtures thereof, or can be any other suitable subliming and space forming material.
- the spacing agent 14 has a melting point, boiling point, sublimation temperature, etc. of about less than 25O 0 C.
- the spacing agent 14 provides the macroporosity and microporosity of the biocompatible metal powder 12 before and during the thermal cycling processes, described later herein, because after the spacing agent 14 decomposes and metallurgical bonds form between the metal powder 12 particles, pores 18 or gaps remain where the spacing agent 14 was located.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 is used to improve the cohesiveness of the mixture because the non-polar liquid binder 16 keeps all mixture components in close proximity and does not dissolve the spacing agent 14.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 can be a volatile compound with a boiling point sufficiently close to the sublimation or decomposition point of the spacing agent 14. In various embodiments, that temperature difference is less than about 200 0 C. In still other embodiments, that difference is less than about 100 0 C.
- the close range of the sublimation temperature of the spacing agent 14 and the boiling point of the non-polar liquid binder 16 allows for a single step removal of the spacing agent 14 and the non-polar liquid binder 16.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 can be a botanical organic compound.
- An example of such a binder is limonene (4-isopropenyl-1 - methylcyclohexene), including any stereoisomers thereof, such as d-limonene, I- limonene, and mixtures thereof.
- d-limonene can be used.
- the d-limonene can be derived from citrus fruits (orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, etc.), from other plant materials such as those in the genus Pinus (from pine tree needles and branches), Peucedanum (from dill plants), and other plants.
- non-polar binder 16 is derived from a citrus fruit
- the major component is d-limonene and the balance consists of other terpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds such as octanal, myrcene, alpha-pinen ⁇ , and linalool.

- non-polar liquid binders 16 can Include high concentrations of terpenes, relative to other components in the material, such as those derived from cedar wood, Copaiba Balsam, ginger, hemp, hops, bergamot, dog fennel, turpentine, pinene, and sylvestrene, for example.
- a mixed terpene solution can be used, the mixture consisting of various concentrations of terpenes, sesquiterpenes, and polyterpenes.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 is not limited to botanicals, but also includes any non-polar liquid having the desired volatility and/or compatibility with the metal powder 12 and the spacing agent 14, etc., for example mineral oil.
- the mixture of non-polar liquid binder 16, spacing agent 14, and metal powder 12 can be made homogenous by mixing.
- the ratio of metal powder 12 to spacing agent 14 can be about 1:1 up to about 10:1.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 can be in a ratio of from about 1 part binder (in milliliters) to about 10. parts of solid (spacing agent 14 and biocompatible metal powder 12, in grams) up to about 1 part binder 16 to about 30 parts of solid.
- Altering the ratios of the mixture components and/or the sizes of the components can provide an implant having a higher or lower porosity, enhanced load-bearing abilities, and can help to tailor the porous metal implant 10 for a particular region of the body.
- Utilizing a ratio of metal powder 12 to spacing agent 14 of 8:1 will provide an dense implant 10 having very fine pores.
- a ratio of metal powder 12 to spacing agent 14 of 8:1 will provide an dense implant 10 having very fine pores.
- the spacing agent 14 has a diameter of at least about 25 micrometers and the metal powder 12 has a diameter of about 10 micrometers, large pores result. If the metal powder 12 and spacing agent 14 diameter sizes were reversed, smaller pores would result.
- the mixture can also include metal powders 12 of different particulate sizes. By including metat powder 12 particulates of at least two different sizes, a porosity gradient can be achieved. The porosity gradient can be such that the porosity of the implant 10 increases or decreases by up to about 80% across the body of the implant 10.
- the porosity gradient can be continuous and scale up (or down) to a desired amount, or the porosity gradient can include differing porosity regions (e.g., 80% porosity region transitions to a 40% porosity region which transitions to a 75% porosity region). The transitions between the regions can be continuous in the porous metal implant 10. To provide the different porosities, a mixture corresponding to a particular porosity is stacked on top of or adjacent to a mixture having a different porosity.
- the mixture can be formed into a regular or geometric shape.
- the shaped mixture can be used to form implants that include solid body cylinders, blocks, discs, cones and also include hollow or recessed regions as depicted in Figures 3B and 3C.

- the combination of the metal powder 12, spacing agent 14, and non-polar liquid binder 16 allows for shaping the mixture prior to any heat treatments described later herein.
- Shaping the mixture prior to sintering simplifies the process of forming the porous metal implant 10 by eliminating the need to transfer the mixture from between a heat source for subliming the spacing agent 14, a different heat source to remove the non-polar liquid binder 16, and any machines.
- the mixture can be fixed into place with a securing element 20.
- the securing element 20 can contact at least a region of the mixture for the porous metal implant 10.
- the securing element 20 can be made of a flexible material that is substantially non-reactive with the metal powder 12, the spacing agent 14, and/or the non-polar liquid binder 16.
- the securing element 20 can be a metal foil, such as aluminum foil for example.
- the securing element 20 can also be a rubber material or a silicone polymer.
- the thickness of the securing element 20 can be greater than about 1 millimeter, but it can be scaled up or down depending on the size of the porous metal implant 10 and the ratio of the non-polar liquid binder 16 to the metal powder 12 and the spacing agent 14. For example, if the mixture had a critical volume of the non-polar liquid binder 16, it may be desirable to employ a thicker foil securing element 20 to prevent any unintentional release of the non-polar binder 16 from the wrapped package.
- the securing element 20 can be a band or piece of foil that can be attached to a portion of the mixture, folded upon itself, or form a pouch to envelop the mixture.
- the packet of the mixture wrapped in the securing element 20 can be formed into a shape, such as those in Figures 3A-3H without damaging the mixture or disrupting a porosity gradient, if any, in the material.
- the securing element 20 increases the time the mixture can be stored prior to thermal cycling.
- the securing element 20 increases the cohesiveness of the mixture of the metal powder 12, the spacing agent 14, and the binder 16 to reduce unintentional separation of disruption of the material, even, for example, when the mixture is arranged to provide a porosity gradient.
- the cohesiveness refers to the ability of the metal powder 12, the spacing agent 14, and the binder 16 to be held together as a solid mass of the respective discrete materials.
- the mixture can be held for several hours, from 1 to 7 days, from about 3 to about 12 weeks, for a period of several years, or longer.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 is d-limonene
- the mixture is particularly shelf-stable.
- Shelf-stability is particularly advantageous when preparation of the mixture needs to be completed at an earlier time than the sintering of the mixture or when resources are limited as to the amount of heating units, such as ovens, furnaces, etc. available and the number/variety of porous metal implants 10 that need to be created.
- Figure 6 generally details the methods of forming the porous metal implant 10.
- Forming the porous metal implant 10 generally includes preparing the mixture 100, shaping the mixture 102, and thermal cycling the mixture to form the porous body 104.

- the press is conducted at or below about 200 0 C or at or below about room temperature.
- a cold isostatic press can be used where the temperature is less than about 200°C.
- the metal-binder-spacing agent mixture is placed in a cold isostatic press bag and pressure is applied.

- the pressure used in in from about 345 kilopascals to about 420 kilopascals.
- the formed shapes or blocks can be machined into particular shapes (e.g., acetabular cup).
- the pressed compacts can also be stored in airtight sealed containers or foil bags.
- the thermal cycling 104 includes removing the spacing agent 14 and the non-polar liquid binder 16 and sintering the mixture to create metallic interparticle bonds and provide the physical and mechanical properties of the porous metal implant 10.
- the thermal cycling 104 can include at least one sintering 106 and at least one quenching 108. Sintering conditions (temperature, time, and atmosphere) must be such that the metallic interparticle bonds are created while extensive densification is avoided.
- the sintering can be performed in a controlled atmosphere, such as a vacuum for example, to prevent formation of oxides on the metal surface.
- Thermal cycling can be a single-oven or furnace process and require no manipulation of the mixture between the stages of forming the mixture and removing formed porous metal implant 10. It is also understood that the thermal cycling of the materials described herein can be performed in multiple ovens.
- the compact can be initially heated at from about 5O 0 C to about 250 0 C to remove the non-polar liquid binder 16 and the spacing agent 14.
- the exact temperature can be selected depending on the combination of the non-polar liquid binder 16 and the spacing agent 14, vacuum conditions, etc. It is desirable to remove the spacing agent 14 at a temperature at which the metal 12 does not react with the spacing agent 14. In various embodiments, that temperature can be at from about 25 0 C to about 50O 0 C. In various other embodiments, that temperature can be a temperature less than the melting point of the metal powder 12.
- the non-polar liquid binder 16 comprises d-limonene having a boiling point of 175 0 C and an ammonium bicarbonate spacing agent having a boiling temperature of 108 0 C and begins to decompose carbon dioxide.
- a suitable initial cycling temperature can be at about at least 60 0 C or higher, but preferably under the sintering temperature of the selected metal powder 12. It may be desirable for the initial cycle temperature to be at about or above the boiling point or the sublimation point or decomposition of the component having the highest temperature value. In the above example, it may be desirable to use an initial cycling temperature of about 175°C.
- a first sintering of the compact is conducted to transform the compact (substantially free from metallurgical bonds between the metal powder 12 particles) to the implant 10 having the metallurgical bonds.
- the temperature can be increased in the chamber (2°C, 5 0 C, 10 0 C, 2O 0 C, 50 0 C, for example) at time intervals (5 seconds up to 15 minutes). Once the desired temperature or "hold temperature” is reached, the mixture is maintained at the hold temperature from about 1 hour to about 10 hours or from about 2 hours to about 6 hours to create the metallurgical bonds between the metal powder 12 particles.
- the use of temperature intervals allows for elimination of separate steps or separate ovens used to remove the spacing agent 14 and the non-polar liquid binder 16.
- the porous metal implant 10 is quenched or rapidly cooled to generate a phase of hardened metal known as the martensite phase. Quenching can be achieved by direct quenching, fog quenching, hot quenching, interrupted quenching, selective quenching, slack quenching, spray quenching, and/or time quenching. Quenching can be performed in the sintering oven without moving the implant. For example, with fog quenching, a fog could be distributed through the sintering oven to quench the metal and the fog could be subsequently vacuumed out. Once the sintering oven was completely purged of the fog, an inert gas could be reintroduced into the oven and the thermal cycling would continue.
- the porous metal implant 10 can be quenched at or below room temperature or the porous metal implant 10 can be quenched to a warmer temperature (over about 4O 0 C).
- the porous metal implant 10 can be quenched to a temperature closer to the starting temperature of the subsequent sintering or heating.

- the second hold temperature can be from about 500 0 C to about 900 0 C.
- the second hold time can be of the same duration or a different duration than the first hold time. In various embodiments, the hold time can be from about 1 hour to about 10 hours or from about 2 hours to about 6 hours. Quenching as detailed above can also be repeated. Furthermore, additional sintering can be performed. [0040] After completion of sintering, a final thermal treatment can include heating the porous implant 10 at a temperature below the sintering temperature of the metal powder 12 or at a temperature that is a fraction of the first sintering temperature. In various embodiments, it may be desirable to employ a fraction gradient temperature reduction.
- a first sintering can be up to a temperature of about 1200 0 C
- a second sintering can be up to about 800 0 C
- the final thermal treatment can be up to about 400 0 C.
- Each successive heating can be reduced by a predetermined number of degrees, for example about 300 0 C to about 400 0 C.
- quenching can be employed to increase the hardness and longevity of the porous metal implant 10, while preventing the crumbling and misshapen attributes caused by moving the materials between the various ovens or machines, for example.
- the thermal cycling can be conducted in a vacuum or under reduced pressure of inert gas. It may be desirable to conduct the sintering in an inert atmosphere (in argon gas, for example). The vacuum and/or the inert atmosphere will prevent solid solution hardening of the surface of the porous implant 10 as a result of inward diffusion of oxygen and/or nitrogen into the metal.
- the porous implant 10 can be further shaped and machined to adjust the tolerances of the material and can be used to add features such as grooves, indentations, ridges, channels, etc. The machining can also be used to form complex shapes such as those depicted in Figures 3G and 3H.

- the metal substrate is the same metal as the metal powder 12.
- the metal substrate can be a prosthetic device, such as an acetabular cup, depicted in Figure 3G, or to the condoyle surfaces, depicted in Figure 3H.
- the temperature and pressure conditions used to attach the metal substrate to the porous body can be such that diffusion and metallurgical bonding between the substrate surface areas and the adjacent porous metal surfaces will be achieved.
- the metal substrate 22 can be prepared prior to attaching the porous body.
- the metal substrate 22 can be acid etched, subjected to an acid bath, grit blasted, or ultrasonically cleaned for example. Other preparations include adding channels, pits, grooves, indentations, bridges, or holes to the metal substrate 22. These additional features may increase the attachment of the porous metal body to the underlying metal substrate. As depicted in Figures 5B and 5C, the porous metal implant 10 body can be only partially attached to the metal substrate 22 at specific structural points.
- the cup 24 includes a ring 26 and the porous implant 10 body attaches to the ring 26 using mechanical interface 28 and metallurgical bonds.
- Figure 5B depicts a C-shaped mechanical interface
- Figure 5C depicts a I-beam type mechanical interface.
- the percentage of the porous metal implant 10 attached using metallurgical bonds is less than about 40%.
- the porous metal implant 10 can also be attached to a solid core or solid body 30 as shown in Figure 7.
- the porous metal implant 10 can also be attached as part of an orthopaedic insert, such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/111 ,123 filed April 21, 2005, incorporated by reference.
- the porous metal implant 10 can also be used to form a geostructure, which is a three-dimensional geometric porous engineered structure that is self supporting and is constructed of rigid filaments joined together to form regular or irregular geometric shapes. The structure is described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,206,924, which is incorporated by reference.
- Additional agents can be coated onto or in at least a surface of the porous metal implant 10.
- Agents include resorbable ceramics, resorbable polymers, antibiotics, demineralized bone matrix, blood products, platelet concentrate, allograft, xenograft, autologous and allogeneic differentiated cells or stem cells, nutrients, peptides and/or proteins, vitamins, growth factors, and mixtures thereof, which would facilitate ingrowth of new tissue into the porous metal implant 10.
- additional agent is a peptide
- an RGB peptide can be advantageously incorporated into the implant.
