Mechanical Properties

The unique APS process actually enhances the mechanical properties of the biomedical implant. Our exclusive method yields a 25% reduction in fatigue properties, resulting in the groundbreaking ability to render the entire surface area of the revision product a bonding surface without breakage. The Shear and Tensile strengths for all biomedical coatings meet FDA guidance documents.
