Applications
Biocera coating is beneficial for a wide variety of titanium and magnesium implants
Magnesium - ECO bioceramics for resorption control and antibacterial functionality:
Orthopedic Implants: screws, plates, and rods for bone fracture stabilization and healing. They provide the necessary mechanical support and gradually degrade, eliminating the need for a second surgery to remove the implant.
Cardiovascular Stents: Magnesium-based stents are used to keep blood vessels open. These stents support the vessel during healing and then degrade, reducing long-term complications associated with permanent stents.
Dental Implants: Magnesium alloys are also being explored for dental applications, such as membranes where they can support bone regeneration and eventually be absorbed by the body.
Tissue Engineering: Magnesium implants can serve as scaffolds for tissue engineering, promoting the growth of new tissues and gradually being replaced by the body’s own tissues
Titanium - ECO bioceramics for enhanced osseointegration and antibacterial:
Dental Implants: Titanium with white ECO coating integrates well with bone (osseointegration), providing a stable and durable foundation for artificial teeth.
Orthopedic Implants: joint replacements (such as hip and knee), bone plates, and screws.
Cardiovascular Devices: stents, heart valves, and pacemaker cases due to its non-reactive nature and durability
Spinal Implants: rods and screws used in spinal surgeries to stabilize and support the spine.
Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Implants: in reconstructive surgeries for the skull and face, providing structural support and promoting bone growth, ECO coating is particularly desirable for 3D printed structures.
