Method of implanting heavy metal such as nobel metal, e.g.gold, and metal for use in implantation

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a heavy metal, such as noble metal. E.g. gold, for implantation in vivo or in vitro in local areas in humans or animals, the gold is provided with a large surface to ensure ample release of gold ions. The heavy metal e.g. gold may be admixed to solids, (tablets, powders) liquids (solutions, lung sprays, eye drops, nose spray) or cremes, depending on how it is going to be used, on the different external or internal epithelial surfaces. Form implantation in tissues including the brain, the gold is provided as pieces of gold having a mass and surface adapted to the purpose, where the surface of the piece of gold is larger than a cylindrical piece of gold having the same mass. In a preferred embodiment, the pieces of gold are wound as springs.

1 . A heavy metal, such as noble metal e.g. gold for use in implantation in humans or animals, characterized in that the metal is formed by one or more pieces e.g. of gold, having a surface of a piece of metal having a given mass that is larger than the surface of a spherical or cylindrical piece of metal having the same mass.  
     
     
         2 . A heavy metal according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the metal is provided as colloidal gold particles, or the metal is mixed into a solution, or the metal is created as carrier substances to be dispensed as drops, or as air soles (sprays) or as ointments or crèmes or tablets or capsules.  
     
     
         3 . A heavy metal according to claims  1 - 2 , characterized in that the threads of gold are wound as spring like coils with one or more windings.  
     
     
         4 . A heavy metal according to claims  1 - 3 , characterized in that the gold implants are created by reticulated or foiled gold or by foamed gold.  
     
     
         5 . A heavy metal according to claims  1 - 4 , characterized in that the gold implants are created of sintered metal particles, e.g. gold particles.
