Medical Coatings

Medicoat is specialist for thermal spraying focussing plasma spraying. We coat implants and devices for renowned companies.
We offer implant manufactures e.g. specifically optimised Titanium (Ti) and Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings that meet all ISO standards and ASM requirements. The coating production is performed under the strict quality standards of ISO 13485 and/or FDA using our own developed and manufactured coating equipment.

Titanium and Hydroxylapatite Coatings

Titanium and Hydroxyapatite coatings – the perfect surface for osseous integration of implants.

Function

Cementless implanted artifical joints are primary fixed through sparing and accurately fitted cavities in the bone. Like anchor bolts in a wall, implants are mechanically interlocked with the bone tissue. This mechanical fixation loses it`s strength quickly and must be replaced by a permemanent and long-term stable ingrowth of bone cells (osseointegration).

Bone cells can anchor directly on biocompatible materials if the surface is proper structured. Through plasma spraying modified titanium (Ti), hydroxyapatite (HA) or Ti/HA coatings with high adhesion can be deposited on implant surfaces. Bone cells grow in, adhere and a structural and functional connection is formed. The coated implant is integrated into the bone and a stable and permanent anchorage is realised.

Areas of application for Medicoat Coatings

What it's all about:
The successful use of Medicoat Coating Systems over decades combined with continuous further development of process and system technology has led to an expansion of the areas of application. Whereas in the past mainly classic hip implants were coated, today Medicoat coatings are used on a wide variety of implants and materials.
