WHEN THE MEDICAL APPLICATION STARTED PEOPLE WENT TO APS. BIOMEDICAL IMPLANTS WERE A VIABLE OPTION FOR PATIENTS NEEDING A JOINT REPLACEMENT. THE ORTHOPEDIC MARKETPLACE AT THE TIME WAS UNABLE TO CREATE A STRONG, PERMANENTLY FIXED, CEMENTLESS IMPLANT.
APS’ response to this demand derived the process of applying porous, bioactive coatings to orthopedic implants. Today, APS produces commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) and hydroxyapatite (HA) orthopedic implant coatings for seven of the ten largest medical manufacturers in the world. APS’ titanium (Ti-6AL-4V) and hydroxyapatite coatings are especially desirable in the biomedical industry. These materials are wear-resistant, possess a high strength-to-weight ratio, and promote osseointegration between bone and implant. APS leads the market in biomedical coatings for PEEK implants. Between its US headquarters and Ireland, APS Materials has eight dedicated biomedical vacuum spray chambers to serve customers.

Prevents Delamination and Promotes Osseointegration
Our proprietary process for titanium coating offers unrivaled quality and craftsmanship in every product we create. This process minimizes delamination and facilitates osseointegration. We have extensive experience processing a wide variety of PEEK spinal implants in our dedicated spinal production cell. This ensures a high-quality, porous coating while retaining your implant’s geometric characteristics. We exceed industry standards in all we do because that’s the right thing to do. When you turn to APS Materials, you always get more.
HYDROXYAPATITE COATING
Superior Osseointegration
Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating is primarily composed of calcium and phosphorous. This composition promotes osseointegration between bone and orthopedic implants, allowing for the ultimate in structural and functional connection. Because of its versatility, hydroxyapatite is becoming increasingly popular as an implant coating. The biomedical industry has demonstrated a tremendous level of confidence in APS’ ability when providing hydroxyapatite coatings.
Shorter Recovery, Faster Growth
Hydroxyapatite allows for cementless implants, and it helps promote bone ingrowth. For this reason, it is often used in hip, knee and other implants and as a synthetic bone substitute. Reports imply that HA coatings encourage faster bone fixation, with less pain and shorter recovery time for the patient. Hydroxyapatite is as equally effective as a coating in dental implant applications. Turn to APS for quick production turnaround, competitive pricing, and unparalleled quality.

Better Over Time
The advantages of using hydroxyapatite as a bio implant coating over more traditional materials are not immediately apparent. Time eventually reveals the benefits of HA coatings. Dental and orthopedic implants coated with hydroxyapatite show a higher success rate in overall implant function over time. Hydroxyapatite coatings and titanium coatings have the unique ability to create structural and functional connections with bone. APS works with most of the world’s largest biomedical manufacturers, helping them provide more durable bone implants.
TITANIUM COATING
Bonded to Bone
The biomedical industry has long preferred titanium as a coating for dental and joint implant applications because of its porousness and superior biocompatibility. The mechanical behavior of titanium allows bone tissue to grow inside the structure, facilitating a long and stable connection between implant and bone.
Better Implants for Patients
The quick osseointegration that titanium provides allows for shorter recovery time and less pain for patients in need of replacement implants. Porous titanium coatings for FDA-approved vertebral disk replacements allow patients to avoid having their vertebrae fused as a way to combat back pain, preserving range of motion.
