   Plastallium

   Orthopaedic & Dental Implants

The PLASTALLIUM™ system holds benefits for CEMENTED and CEMENTLESS fixation applications and is employed regularly in both approaches.

The surface topography of  PLASTALLIUM™ 212 is ideal for mechanical interlocking of cement or bone. In the latter case, an additional coating layer of bio-conductive material (e.g. CAPTAL™ Hydroxylapatite) is employed to promote apposition of good quality bone to the implant.

PLASTALLIUM 212™ has F.D.A. approval for a cemented implant application.

Characteristics of Plastallium™

• Static tensile strength 45-51 MPa
• Static shear strength 40 MPa
• Shear fatigue exceeding 130 MPa at 107 cycles
• Cohesive strength greater than 45 MPa
• Surface roughness (topography) 20-25 microns Ra
• High density surface
