Series production of CE-certified orthopedic implants with EBM® with trabecular structures for improved osseointegration
A medical implant that does not provide long term fixation
and needs to be replaced prematurely causes unnecessary
trauma for the patient, and it is therefore vital to reduce the
risk of this occurring to a minimum.
One of the major “Fit and Forget” factors for orthopedic implants is its ability to fix itself to the hosting bone.
The conventional methods to improve osseointegration by adding a porous coating of titanium
beads or hydroxyapatite work, but still do not provide the optimum conditions for bone ingrowth.
Instead, implant manufacturers are now using the EBM® technology for series production of CE-certified
orthopedic implants with integrated, engineered trabecular structures for improved osseointegration.
