BIOCERAMIC ECO COATING ENHANCE OSSEOINTEGRATION OF TITANIUM IMPLANTS

Complex ingrowth surface technologies of additively manufactured, trabecular implants, plasma sprayed, and laser modified porous and roughened titanium surfaces are challenging for conventional coatings (e.g., plasma HA) that should not compromise the desired surface properties of roughness and porosity.

Electro chemical oxidation (ECO) technology applied by Biocera Medical (www.biocera-med.com) for Ti6Al4V has been reported as an efficient alternative to plasma sprayed and solution precipitated coatings. In vitro and in vivo test results have been presented by Dr Nigel Smith at the 3rd international BioMaH Conference (Biomaterials and Novel Technologies for Healthcare) in Rome.

BIOCERA WORK ON RESORBABLE MAGNESIUM IMPLANTS AWARDED INNOVATE UK SUPPORT

As an acknowledgement of a novel implant surfacing technology, Innovate UK awarded a grant for a 24-month collaborative project on “Resorbable magnesium medical implants with multifunctional surface” to a team of University of Portsmouth and BioCera Medical, UK. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that Biocera’s surface treatment of magnesium alloys efficiently control implant resorption rate and preventing harmful effects of corrosion and hydrogen release.

The aim is to provide evidence that Biocera’s surface technology enables the use of a new generation of resorbable magnesium alloy implants that deliver reliable mechanical characteristics compatible with bone and that are stronger than implants made from resorbable polymers (PLA/PGA).
