Titanium and tri-alloy coating
CAM Implants is not only recognized for its Hydroxyapatite coating services,
a lot of major orthopedic and dental companies have learned of the excellent
quality of CAM's titanium and Ti-alloy coatings as well.
Our titanium coating process is conducted inside a vacuum chamber, utilizing
an inert gas in order to eliminate any possible oxidation of the metal coating
powder. Cp Ti and Ti-alloy surface treatment can be applied to any implanted
metal surface (including CoCr). The characteristics of CAM's cp Ti and Ti-Alloy
coatings have been extensively documented in an FDA master file by our partner
APS Materials Inc., Dayton OH, USA, showing their unique features of wear
debris resistance and strength.
CAM's titanium and Ti-alloy coatings possess the following characteristics:
• Extremely biocompatible and bioactive
• Strong implant fixation
• Wear debris resistance
• Fatigue strength
• Extremely biocompatible and bioactive
Cp Titanium and Ti Alloy are the most biocompatible metals. They are bioactive,
which means they have the ability to osseointegrate. The bone bonds directly
to titanium surfaces, making it ideal to use in bone contact situations.
• Strong implant fixation
The surface texture of cp Ti and Ti Alloy allows good initial fixation
through mechanical interlocking with the bone at the implant site. In
addition to texture, the cp Ti and Ti-Alloy porosity allows bone tissue
to penetrate and establish a firm mechanical bond with the implant, increasing
the surface area for bone ingrowth manifold. The excellent biocompatibility
and bone-bonding characteristics greatly enhance the long-term retention
of the implant.
• Wear debris resistance
The cp Ti and Ti-Alloy coatings have been developed to ensure that there
is virtually no release of Ti in vivo. After the healing phase, the circumferential
coatings of closed-pore plasma-sprayed titanium can form an effective
seal with articular wear debris, as compared to the open or interconnected
pore surface, i.e. porous-beaded and fiber-mesh coatings.
• Fatigue strength
Thanks to the CAM proprietary method of Titanium plasma-sprayed coatings,
based on an inert atmosphere conducted in a vacuum chamber) the cp Ti
and Ti-Alloy coatings exhibit consistent fatigue strength. More importantly,
retention of material fatigue strength allows greater freedom of implant
design.
