NANOSTRURED SURFACES FOR IMPLANTOLOGY-OBTAINING AND CHARACTERIZATION

Metallic biomaterials (especially alloys) are mainly used for implants with high mechanical stress (hip, knee) in the form of screws, nails and fracture fixation plates, and in cardiovascular surgery in the form of valves and pacemaker connections. In our paper we obtained a new nanostructured material that contains hydroxyapatite and collagen to facilitate oseointegration obtained like a layer on a titanium alloy.
