OsseoTi® Porous Metal Technology

1000x1000_insetimage_Hips_OsseoTi

Zimmer Biomet’s OsseoTi® Porous Metal Technology uses human CT data in combination with 3D printing technology to build a structure that directly mimics the architecture of human cancellous bone. Using a proprietary manufacturing process, constructs are printed layer by layer to build a fully-integrated component with solid and porous regions. This process maintains the consistent porosity and strength necessary to facilitate tissue in-growth and implant stability.1*

Product Features

OsseoTi Porous Metal Technology features:

  • A porous architecture that has demonstrated integration with host bone as early as 4 weeks in an animal study1*
  • Architecture directly mimics the structure of human cancellous bone
  • Porosity of approximately 70%
  • Average pore size of 475 microns, which facilitates cell migration, vascularisation, and tissue ingrowth1*
  • Material strength between that of cancellous and cortical bone, which facilitates biologic fixation and loading of surrounding bone1,2*

*Animal studies are not necessarily indicative of clinical performance 

 

Zimmer Biomet’s OsseoTi® Porous Metal Technology is made from the highly biocompatible Ti6A14V alloy material that has corrosion resistance and a  history of clinical success.3,4 Mimicking the porous structure of human cancellous bone, the physical properties of OsseoTi Porous Metal are designed for the potential of bone integration.5 This porous metal structure facilitates tissue ingrowth and remodelling, vascularisation, and very close attachment between bone and the metal. Zimmer Biomet’s OsseoTi Porous Metal Technology has the potential to facilitate bone integration for orthopaedic devices.
