Abstract:
Computer implemented methods of producing a mesh implant having a compartment to enclose a bone material therein are provided. These methods include generating a 3D digital model of the mesh implant having the compartment, the 3D digital model including a virtual volume of the compartment and a virtual depth, thickness and volume of the mesh implant; generating a 3D digital model of a covering configured for closing the compartment of the mesh implant, the 3D digital model including a virtual volume of the covering for closing the compartment of the mesh implant; and instructing a 3D printer coupled to a computer to generate the mesh implant based on the 3D digital models. A computer system for making a mesh implant and a delivery system including the mesh implant are also provided.

Claim (Index 19):
A delivery system comprising a seamless mesh implant having a compartment for enclosing bone material, the seamless mesh implant made by using a 3D printer coupled to a computer, the computer programmed for (i) generating a 3D digital model of the mesh implant having the compartment, the 3D digital model including a virtual volume of the compartment to enclose the bone material therein and a virtual depth, thickness and volume of the mesh implant; (ii) generating a 3D digital model of a covering configured for closing the compartment of the mesh implant, the 3D digital model including a virtual volume of the covering for closing the compartment of the mesh implant and a virtual depth and thickness of the covering for closing the compartment of the mesh implant; (iii) instructing a 3D printer coupled to the computer system to generate the mesh implant based on the 3D digital model of the mesh implant; (iv) filling the compartment of the mesh implant with an amount of the bone material; and (v) instructing the 3D printer to generate the covering based on the 3D digital model of the covering for enclosing the bone material within the compartment of the mesh implant, wherein the mesh implant has a plurality of pores.
