Technology
DOT applies the plasma sprayed HA coating to the implants using the APS technique.
Range of Application
- Joint implants: hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint, shoulder joint, wrist joint, finger implants and spinal implants
 
Advantages of the Procedure
- Surface enlargement
 - High primary stability of the implant due to rough surface
 - Long-time stability due to bone ingrowth into the porous HA layer
 
Properties
- Coating thickness: On Customer Request
 - Adhesion (tensile strength) ASTM F1147: ≥ 15MPa
 - Adhesion (shear tensile strength) ASTM F1044: ≥ 15 MPa
 - Ca/P ratio: 1.61–1.76
 - Degree of crystallinity of HA phase: ≥ 45 %
 - Crystalline phases: 
- HA: 50 w%
 - a-TCP, ß-TCP, TTCP: ≤ 30 w%
 - CaO: ≤ 5 w%
