Análise de materiais para sistemas de fechamento ósseo através da caracterização superficial e comportamento mecânico /

Estambasse, Eduardo Costa. January 2015 (has links)
Orientador: Cesar Renato Foschini / Banca: Natal Nerimio Rogone / Banca: Gilberto de Magalhães Bento Gonçalves / Resumo: Neste trabalho busca-se observar um estudo de caracterização mecânica em materiais destinados a implantes, a caracterização superficial dos corpos de provas usinados dos três tipos de materiais utilizados nos implantes para fechamento ósseo titânio grau cinco, titânio grau quatro e aço inox 316 L, estes três tipos de materiais são considerados como biomateriais pois possuem todas as propriedades necessárias para reconstrução óssea, e tem provado ser eficiente para implantes. Este estudo se dará através da aplicação detalhada de ensaios de caracterização superficial e propriedades mecânicas. Um estudo da rugosidade dos materiais antes do implante e a determinação do módulo de cisalhamento e elasticidade utilizando um método não destrutivo foram utilizados. Será apresentado uma síntese dos diferentes tipos de fixação e comparados aos resultados dos ensaios nos materiais. Nos materiais usinados em formatos de discos, foram coletadas imagens num mmicroscópio confocal, e foi realizada análise da superfície com a finalidade de obtenção da rugosidade média quadrática de cada material a fim de identificar a melhor condição de superfície. Uma revisão de literatura fundamentará o estudo proposto / Abstract: In this work the aim is to observe a mechanical characterization study materials for implants, the surface characteristics of the machined test samples of three types of materials used in bone implants for closing five grade titanium, and titanium grade for stainless steel 316 L, there three types of materials are considered as biomaterials because they posses the necessary properties for bone reconstruction, and has proven to be efficient for implants. This study will be through the detailed application of surface characterization and mechanical properties testing. A study of the roughness of the material before implantation and determining the shear modulus and elasticity using a non-destructive method were used. A summary of different types of fasteners and compared to the test results on the materials will be presented. In machined materials dise formats, images were collected on a confocal microscope, and surface analysis was performed for the purpose of obtaining the mean roughness and mean square surface roughness in order to identify the best surface condition.

Desenvolvimento de parafuso de interferência bioabsorvível para cirurgia de joelho em PLDL (poli ácido lático) e compósito PLDL + βTCP (beta trifosfato de cálcio) /

Santos, Alex Eugênio dos. January 2015 (has links)
Orientador: Luiz Eduardo de Ângelo Sanchez / Banca: Bento Rodrigues de Pontes Junior / Banca: Arthur Alves Fiocchi / Resumo: O parafuso de interferência é o dispositivo de fixação mais usados em cirurgias de reconstrução ligamentar de joelho. O uso dos polímeros bioabsorvíveis está sendo cada vez mais utilizados nesta aplicação, devido suas vantagens relacionadas à excelente biocompatibilidade, bioabsorção, integração do enxerto/osso e também facilidade na revisão cirúrgica. O presente estudo tem por objetivo tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento de um parafuso de interferência bioabsorvível fabricado através do processo de injeção em dois polímeros bioabsorvíveis: PLDL (Poli L-D-ácido lático) e um compósito de PLDL+30% TCP (β Trifosfato de Cálcio). Para o desenvolvimento do projeto do produto foi usado um programa de análise estrutural por elementos finitos, de forma a obter a melhor geometria do encaixe de ferramenta. Através dos estudos de simulação por elementos finitos foi possível selecionar a geometria com maior resistência mecânica levando em conta o esforço de torção e além disso foi possível analisar a influência de furos transversais nas tensões mecânicas geradas pelos esforços de torção. Após a definição da melhor geometria, foram fabricadas amostras dos parafusos com os dois polímeros selecionados, os quais foram esterilizados por ETO (Óxido de etileno). Foram realizados testes mecânicos de torque inserção e torque de ruptura. A resistência mecânica do parafuso foi avaliada através da comparação entre os valores do torque de inserção comparando-se com o torque máximo de ruptura. Para contribuir o estudo foi executado teste de degradação in vitro, durante um período de 180 dias, onde foi avaliada a perda de massa dos implantes, resistência mecânica e queda do peso molecular dos implantes. Logo foi possível avaliar o compartamento mecânico dos implantes em degradação comparando-os com os requerimentos da aplicação. Pode-se observar que a degradação molecular do implante ao longo dos... / Abstract: The interference screw is the fixation device most selected for Knee ligament reconstruction surgeries. The use of Bioabsorbable polymers in interference screws for this application is increasing due it has advantages like excellent biocompatibility, bioabsorption, good integration between graft / bone and also facility in the surgical revision. The aims of the present study were to develop a bioabsorbable interference screw manufactured by the injection moulding process with two distinct polymeric materials: PLDL, Poly(L,DL-Latic acid) and a composite PLDL + 30% TCP (β Tricalcium phosphate). A program for structural analysis by finite elements was used in the development of the screw design, in the intend to make the best geometry fit for the tool. Trough the study by finite elements simulation it was possible to chose the geometry with higher mechanical resistance taking in the account the torsion effort and analyse the influence of transversals holes in the mechanical tensions made by the torque efforts. After the definition of the best geometry, samples of the screw were manufactured with the two selected polymers, sterilized with ETO (ethylene oxide). Were performed mechanical tests, insertion test and torque to break. The mechanical strenght of the screw was evaluated through the comparison between the values of insertion torque and maximum rupture. In addition, a "in vitro", degradation test was performed over a period of 180 year days. It was observed, the weight loss, mechanical strength of the implants was evaluated, and molecular weight drops of the implants. Therefore it was possible to evaluate the mechanical behavior in degradation and compare with the application requirements. It can be observed that the raise of the molecular degradation of the implant along the months had as result a loss of the mechanical resistance of the screw, ina slowly and gradual way for the PLDL material, yet the composite material (PLDL+TCP)... / Mestre

Aphakic iris-claw (Artisan®/Verisyse) lens implantation in low-income African population.

Kruse, Carl-Heinz. January 2007 (has links)
Purpose: To test the viability of implanting the Artisan®/VerisyseTM lens in a low-income monocular aphakic African population with insufficient capsular support where contact lens wear is expensive and spectacle correction is not possible, by assessing the postoperative visual functions. To further assess whether adverse effects (e.g.: pigment dispersion with secondary glaucoma, prolonged uveitis) in patients with highly pigmented irises would be as low as with patients in European and American trials. Methods: A prospective, randomised, controlled clinical trial comparing outcomes in two groups of unilateral aphakic patients. The patients in the first group received an Artisan intra-ocular iris-claw lens as a secondary procedure while the second group remained aphakic (the current treatment status quo for public patients in KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa). Follow-up was done for 1 year. Results: The study was terminated early due to ethical and statistical reasons. Nine treated and five control patients were included. Monocular uncorrected vision was significantly higher in the treatment group (P=0,012) and patient satisfaction was higher (p=0,002). Changes in other variables (intraocular pressure, angle pigmentation, change in cup-to-disc ratio, iris pigment changes and best spectacle corrected vision) were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: The Artisan®/VerisyseTM lens is a feasible option for aphakic African patients with regard to visual outcome, safety and patient satisfaction. This form of refractive correction should be the standard for patients with no capsular support and where other options are too expensive or carry greater risk. / Thesis (M.Med.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2007.
