Plastallium 212

 

Plastallium 212 - 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™ Hydroxlapatite) 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™ Modified Surfaces

    • 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
