Reduced-friction artificial joints and components therefor

摘要: Wheels, bearings, or other rotating elements are used to decrease friction in artificial joint components associated with knee and hip replacements, ankles, elbows, wrist, finger joints, toe intervertebral discs. One more seals may be trap debris inside the joint. The seal surround periphery of component(s), hold a fluid within Various fluids lubricants applicable these embodiments, including water aqueous solutions, triglyceride oil, soybean an inorganic oil (e.g. silicone fluorocarbon), glycerin, ethylene glycol, animal, vegetable, synthetic combinations thereof could used. made expandable elastomer such as those medical devices for cardiovascular system.
