TPS Coating on Ceramic
Technology
A porous TPS coating is applied on the implants using a vacuum plasma spray process to modify the surface of ceramic implants and thus to make the surface attractive for improved osseointegration.
Range of Application
- Orthopaedic implants and implant components made from ceramic
Advantages of the Procedure
- Surface enlargement without thermal microstructural changes of the implant material
- Improved fatigue strength of the implants compared with sintering techniques
- Increased purity and adhesive strength compared with other methods (e.g. APS Atmospheric Plasma Spray)
Properties
- Color: gray
- Coating thickness: 50–300 µm
- Roughness Ra: 30–60 µm
- Porosity: 20–40 %
- Adhesive strength: ≥ 22 MPa
- Biocompatible
- Coating material: Titanium powder - pure titanium grade 4 (in accordance with ISO 5832-2 and ASTM F 1580 as well as titanium alloys in acordance with ISO 5832-3)
TPS Coating on Metal
The TPS metal coating is applied to the implants in a vacuum chamber. Read more>>
TPS Coating on PEEK
This TPS coating is applied in a vacuum and achieves a high level of porosity combined with good and sufficient coating adhesion. This technique makes coating bioinert plastics with a biocompatible and bone attractive surface possible. Read more>>
