The role of a roughened surface aiding in implant fixation has been well established. Recent concern regarding embedded media from glass beading and grit blasting operations has prompted interest in developing a method to avoid this ontamination. Osteolysis is a primary concern, and has been shown to relate to particulate debris. RBM Bio-Coat has succeeded in developing a process that provides a roughened surface to aid in osseointegration, without the presence of unwanted debris embedded in the implant surface.
