Patent ID: 8609127

Claim:
A medical implant having a first side and an opposite second side comprising: a porous scaffold comprised of polyether ether ketone having multiple pores defining open volumes that connect at least between the first side and the second side, wherein the porous scaffold includes a scaffold structure comprised of sections of bone or other tissues and wherein the multiple pores include walls defining interfaces between the scaffold structure and the pores, wherein the scaffold structure is bioresorbable; and a bioactive material on average less than about ten microns thick that is coupled to substantially all of the walls of the porous scaffold, wherein the bioactive material comprises a statin; wherein multiple paths through the pores between the first side and the second side remain at least in part open for passage of a fluid through the porous scaffold and the bioactive material, and wherein at least one of the first or opposite second sides of the medical implant include surface features for enhancing fixation, penetration, or capturing a portion of tissue selected from the group consisting of teeth, spikes, ridges, projections, indentations, roughening, knurling or combinations thereof, and the porous scaffold comprises by volume excluding the bioactive material of polyether ether ketone having an initial particle size of 300 to 600 microns.
