A team for the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), has tailored tantalum oxide (TaxOy) films onto commercially pure titanium (cpTi) surface in the efforts of producing a biocompatible surface treatment ...
The human body is a marvellous system, with completely integrated load-bearing and power transmission systems that are both self-replicating and adaptable to changes in environment, work rates and ...
Much of our work on biomaterial surface modification focuses on titanium and titanium alloys due to their extensive use as implant materials in orthopaedic and dental applications. One of the simplest ...
Titanium-based materials are widely used in medical implant technology, and coating the surface of titanium materials with biologically active molecules has recently shown promise to improve how cells ...
A team of researchers from Mayo Clinic have found that that Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles that are present in bone implants may be causing harm by impairing bone formation and interfering with ...
Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium ...
Medical implants are devices created to replace, help, or improve a failing biological structure. Often, they are produced as prosthetics to replace missing limbs and body parts. Another common use of ...
NuVasive, Inc. NUVA recently announced the commercial launch of Modulus TLIF-O, a porous titanium spine implant. The system is designed for the transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedure.
