Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite (HA)is a form of calcium phosphate. Synthetic HA has wide-ranging potential applications in orthopedic and orthodontics.
Chemical Formula
Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2
Crystal Structure
Hexagonal
Nano HA – Powders
Prepared through the nano-reactors technology, nano-hydroxyapatite powder is available in various sizes and morphologies.
Bone & Hydroxyapatite
Bones are composite materials made of approximately 70% by weight of inorganic material and 30% of organic composition. The major inorganic phase found in human bones is highly similar to calcium hydroxyapatite (HA).
• Synthetic HA is non-toxic, bio-compatible, and bio-active agent.
• Ability to form direct chemical bond with surrounding tissue
Applications of HA
• Synthetic bone graft substitutes
• coating for implants
• Coatings to promote bone in-growth into prosthetic implants
• cements (dental and orthopedic)
• repair of bony defects
• fillers for composites (polymeric or non-polymeric)
• Protein purification
• Sustained-release drug delivery devices
• bioreactor (to grow cells)
• Ear implants
• Eye implants
• research materials (standards or reagents)
