Material

LithaBone HA 400

LithaBone HA 400 is a hydroxyapatite ceramic (85% relative density, 15% porosity) that is absorbed more slowly than tricalcium phosphate, giving the body more time to heal, made from HA powder certified to ASTM F1185-03.

About

LithaBone HA 400 is based on hydroxyapatite, the mineral that forms the main inorganic component of bone, which makes it biocompatible and osteoconductive.

Sintered parts have a relative density of 85% (15% porosity) and are not cytotoxic according to ISO 10993-5:2009.

Hydroxyapatite takes longer to be absorbed by the body than tricalcium phosphate, giving the body more time to heal. Note that these are material test results, not approval of a finished implant.

LithaBone HA 400 is well suited to patient-specific bone substitute implants and scaffolds with defined pore geometries.
