Coating Services
A Background in Medical Device Coatings
As osteocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts are sensitive to interface characteristics like stiffness, roughness, chemical composition, and surface energy, implant surface properties are critical to success. A poorly optimised implant surface can trigger an inflammatory response, potentially leading to implant rejection or poor clinical outcomes. To address this, hydroxyapatite coatings are often applied to promote a strong implant surface-bone bond via the favourable cellular interactions from synthetic bone mineral on the device surface.
At Plasma Biotal we supply a range of coating and preparation services to promote different degrees of osseointegration depending on the device. Our experienced coating team are highly skilled and have decades of specialist expertise in this area and can turn your complex production design into a HAp coated reality.
