Low wear anti-allergy solutions
There are two primary types of artificial joint
designs, those that use polyethylene separators and those that employ metal-on-metal
designs. In both cases Medthin™ coatings
significantly improve the performance of
these systems.

Reduction of the metallic ion concentration by a factor of 1000 x over uncoated

Metal-on-Metal Designs
In some systems metal-on-metal contact is
the preferred solution. These ball-socket type
of joints are common in hips, wrists, ankles,
and fingers. Ionbond over the last 15 years
has developed special coatings for these
ball-socket systems. With the loads bearing
directly on the metallic joints the wear resistance in such systems is of primary importance. Medthin™ coatings provide:
Reduced wear by a factor of 10 over
uncoated joints
Low friction coefficients of less than 0.2
Consistently high film cohesion

Polyethylene-based Designs
The established design of articulating systems experiencing heavy loads, as for example in the case of a full knee replacement,
is to use a polyethylene separator to avoid
metal-on-metal (MOM) contact. Here Ionbond nanoscale coatings are essential in
three ways:

Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone
Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) substrates
coated with thick PVD Medthin™ 65 Ti for
cell attachment (Hydrophilic surfaces – low
contact angle):
Ionbond recently developed a unique industrial scale technique for application of
Medthin™ 65 Ti onto implants made of PEEK
and Carbon Fiber re-inforced PEEK. Ionbond
«Metal on PEEK» coating has the following
properties:
Adhesion > 20 MPa.
Coating thickness up to 20µm.
Coating possible on smooth plastic
injected molded surfaces as well as on
blasted surfaces
Medthin™ 65 Ti is a coating suitable for
cell attachment
