Nanova Biomaterials, Inc. products

Human bone is made up of plate-like hydroxyapatite (2-4 nanometer thick and up to 100 nanometer long) embedded in a collagen-rich protein matrix. Biocomposites’ containing hydroxyapatite (HA), benefit by improving biocompatibility or osteoconductivity, and reducing self-catalytic degradation. In literature implants with HA have been resorb and replaced by bone¹. NBI has developed a method to mass produce single crystalline hydroxyapatite nanofibers with well controlled size and purity.  Such HA nanofibers are typically around 100 nanometers in diameter (1000 time thinner than hair) and tens of micrometers in length.
