Aesculap Implant Systems participated in an ovine study of its Plasmapore coated devices, and the results point to the Plasmapore devices bringing increased bone formation over uncoated PEEK implants.
The study found the Plasmapore coating also increases implant stability over time. Less inflammation and fibrosis is also found in the coated dowels than those uncoated.
Plasmapore coating is designed to provide a roughened surface that increase migration resistance and mechanical strength of PEEK implants.
