BoneMaster

BoneMaster for the BiMetric Hip and Oxford Knee

BoneMaster is an advanced biomimetic coating technology with all the biological benefits of hydroxyapatite.  It has an enhanced needle-like nanostructure of apatite crystallites that more accurately represents natural bone1.  The unique combination of biomimetic characteristics and reduced coating thickness offers a number of clinical advantages:

Enhanced Implant Stability
With exceptional coating thickness of only 5μm, BoneMaster maintains the macrostructure of the clinically proven PPS Coating ensuring primary implant stability2,5,6,7.

BoneMaster up closeReduced Fibrous Growth
BoneMaster accelerates bone integration, reducing fibrous tissue growth and enhancing secondary implant stability2,3.

Increased Bone Density
BoneMaster has been clinically proven to increase bone density compared to identical HA-coated components3,4,8.
