Bactiguard Technology

Bactiguard Technology is a thin, durable1 and non-eluting noble metal (gold, silver and palladium alloy coating) that is designed to firmly attach to the implant surface.

When the coating comes into contact with moisture, the noble metals create a unique galvanic (or battery) effect that generates tiny pico currents on the implant surface, designed to reduce bacterial adhesion and subsequent risk of biofilm formation.
