Lithoz Announces Advanced Ceramic Material for 3D Printing LithaBone HA 480 Bone Implants

LithaBone HA 480 is based on hydroxyapatite, a natural mineral. It is he who is the main element of the human bone.
Compared to the LithaBone HA 400, it has a much higher wall thickness and therefore a much greater flexibility in geometry.

Due to their similarity to the mineral components of bone, both LithaBone products have optimal biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. LithaBone is completely resorbable and is replaced by native bone, so the implant does not need to be removed after the healing process is complete. This protects growing children, in particular, from additional painful procedures.

Technical data (preliminary) LithaBone HA 480:
Relative density (%): 72 - 98
Microporosity (%): 2 – 28
Minimum / maximum wall thickness (mm): 0.14 / 10
Standard Compliance: ASTM F1185
