Porous TPS layer on implant made of PEEK

TPS Coating on PEEK


Technology

This TPS coating is applied in a vacuum and achieves a high level of porosity combined with good and adequate coating adhesion. This technique makes coating bioinert plastics with a biocompatible and bone attractive surface possible.
TPS-coated PEEK component
Range of Application
  • Orthopaedic implants and implant components made from PEEK
Advantages of the Procedure
  • Surface enlargement without thermal microstructural changes to the implant material
  • Improved fatigue strength of the implants compared with sintering techniques
  • Increased purity and adhesive strength compared with other methods (e.g. APS Atmospheric Plasma Spray)

Properties

Properties of the PEEK material will not be modified by the TPS coating.
