EnBIO today launched its OsteoZip^TM surface, which has been designed to enhance the osteointegration and early bone fixation of orthopedic implants into host bone tissue. OsteoZip is a revolutionary new hydroxyapatite (HA) surface that is ideal for orthopedic and dental implants. Applied and enabled by EnBIO's CoBlast^TM surface modification process, OsteoZip heralds a new era of functional surfaces for orthopedic implants. The CoBlast process is non-complex, room temperature and requires no wet chemistry, providing orthopedic implant OEMs with a state-of-the-art surface at a competitive cost. The CoBlast process is in fact a novel variation of grit-blasting-a well practiced process in the medical device industry-and the CoBlast processing equipment is essentially a modified version of standard grit blasting equipment.
