Double-layered Coating Designed for Long-term Stability
The undercoat of commercially pure titanium vacuum plasma spray (CP-Ti) allows the application of a thin hydroxyapatite top coat. This combination may help reduce the release of third body particles and associated risk of aseptic loosening.- Forged titanium alloy with sandblasted finish
- Vacuum plasma spray of commercially pure titanium (50μm)
- Hydroxyapatite coating (110μm)
