Abstract

An example composite material for a medical apparatus includes a matrix material, and a cannabis phase disposed in the matrix material. The cannabis phase includes at least one active chemical. A medical apparatus and a method of making a medical apparatus are also disclosed.

Claims (24)

1 . A composite material for a medical apparatus, comprising:

a matrix material; and

a cannabis phase disposed in the matrix material, wherein the cannabis phase includes at least one active chemical.

2 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase includes at least one of terpenes and flavonoids.

3 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase includes fibers from a cannabis plant.

4 . The composite material of claim 3 , wherein the fibers are bast fibers, hurd fibers, or combinations thereof.

5 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the matrix is a polymeric material.

6 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the matrix is a ceramic material.

7 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase is ground or cut fibers of a cannabis plant.

8 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase includes at least one cannabis extract.

9 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the composite is formed into a medical apparatus configured to be implanted into a patient.

10 . The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the composite is formed into a tool configured to be used during a medical procedure.

11 . The composite of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase includes material from Cannabis sativa L .

12 . A medical apparatus, comprising:

a cannabis phase, the cannabis phase including at least one of hurd fibers and bast fibers of a cannabis plant, wherein the medical apparatus intrinsically has at least one of anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antiemetic, orexigenic, and muscle relaxant properties due to the cannabis phase.

13 . The medical apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the medical apparatus is configured to be implanted in a patient.

14 . The medical apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the medical apparatus is a tool configured to be used in a medical procedure.

15 . The medical apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the medical apparatus is a fabric.

16 . The composite of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis phase includes material from Cannabis sativa L .

17 . A method of making a medical apparatus, comprising:

forming fibers from a cannabis plant into a medical apparatus, whereby the medical apparatus intrinsically has at least one of anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antiemetic, orexigenic, and muscle relaxant properties due to the fibers.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising disposing the fibers into a matrix phase.

19 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising weaving, knitting, or braiding the fibers.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the medical apparatus is implantable into a patient.
