MATRIX MCD - Biocompatible Micro Abrasive for Medical Implants
MATRIX MCD® is a specialized biocompatible micro abrasive blasting solution designed for titanium and titanium alloy medical devices, particularly in the dental and orthopedic sectors. Utilizing a proprietary multi-phase calcium phosphate (MCD) abrasive, it delivers precise surface texturing without compromising the structural integrity of the implant. Unlike conventional abrasive blasting methods, which may leave residual contaminants, MATRIX MCD® ensures a residue-free finish, complying with ASTM F86 passivation standards. This technology facilitates enhanced osseointegration by increasing bone-to-implant contact area, which is crucial for implant stability. It is applicable in both traditional metallurgical and additive manufacturing processes. The system enables adjustable parameters like particle size, allowing customization for specific implant designs. Furthermore, MATRIX MCD® can integrate with other surface finishing techniques, such as anodized coloring or hydroxyapatite coatings, to meet diverse clinical needs, while maintaining high volume production efficiency through automated systems.
