Description

General description

Hydroxyapatite(HAP) is an osteoconductive bioceramic material which has uniqueability to form direct bonds with living tissues. It can be easily prepared byvarious techniques such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, multiple emulsion, biomimeticdeposition, and electrodeposition.

Application

Hydroxyapatite can be used as:

• An implant material for bone substitute due to its chemical similarity to the inorganic component of bone and osteo inductive properties.
• A vehicle for gene and drug delivery because of its encapsulation capacity and affinity to several drugs and proteins.
• A pH responsive particulate emulsifier.

Features and Benefits

• Biocompatible
• Osteoconductive
• Stable under physiological conditions
• High mechanical strength
