The Osseotite® surface is characterized by a 1–3 μm peak-to-peak micro-roughness, created through a proprietary dual acid-etching process. The engineered surface microtopography supports interaction with the blood clot, enhancing the initial healing phase and the process of osseointegration.

Features

  • Micro-surface Dimensions: The surface is characterized by a 1 to 3 micron peak-to-peak surface
  • Manufacturing Process: It is created through a unique acid-etch process
  • Surface Geometry: The features are engineered to create a maze of spaces specifically sized to capture fibrin strands

Benefits

  • Optimized Fibrin Entanglement: The precisely sized surface features allow for the tight entanglement of blood clot fibrin strands
  • Stronger Attachment: Because fibrin strands (which are sub-micron in diameter) can be captured tightly within the surface, the attachment between the blood clot and the implant is significantly strengthened
  • Foundational Healing Support: By creating the strongest possible bond, the surface facilitates a more effective initial interaction with the blood clot, which is essential for the healing process
