 Technology Profile

Title:

Hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium Phosphate from Biogenic Resource

Value Proposition:

Ceramic is suitable for use in the repair of infected or aseptic bone defects in a wide variety of orthopaedic, dental and maxillofacial abnormalities as a substitute for natural bone material.

Summary Application:

Preclinical trial completed.

Advantages:
  • Multi ion containing phase pure calcium phosphate powder/ granules synthesized from fish scale
  • Low cost raw material, process can be upscale able easily – product (calcium phosphate) will be much cheaper
  • The main advantage of the naturally derived calcium phosphate ceramics containing trace elements like Na, K, Mg, Sr, etc which are very useful for bone regeneration.
  • Most importantly, these trace elements are present in optimum concentrations fixed by nature.
