The technology involves a unique surface engineering process that adds micro and nano sized hair like structures to the surface which creates a ?living interface? between artificial implants and bone. The addition of a multilayer coating containing biological substances, such as growth factors and antibiotics, could improve bony integration, arterial and venous proliferation and reduce infection.
