Ultra-strong and fully resorbable biocomposites – enhances the bone integration into the implant

Arctic Biomaterials produces high-quality, strong biomaterials for orthopedic implants and medical products. ABM´s unique X3 natural mineral fiber (fibre) provides an extremely strong and osteoconductive ingredient to combine with bioresorbable polymers and other biomaterials – meant even for load-bearing applications.

ABM´s bone regeneration innovation brings strength to your bioresorbable implants. The X3 biointegrative natural mineral fiber composite provides ultra-high torque strength with advanced bioactivity. The X3 fibers are osteoconductive and osteostimulative. They especially stimulate osteoblasts to support new bone formation in a bony environment.

This material is available for our customer´s and their next generation implants

Commercialize your vision of strong bioresorbable and bioactive implants by using the X3 technology and ABM´s decades of combined biomaterial expertise.

Benefits of X3 bioactive natural mineral fiber composites

MORE INFORMATION

Arctic Biomaterials

has a strong knowledge of strong biomaterials, processing, and product design for each application. We have assembled a talented and experienced team. All key persons have more than 15 years of experience in developing and manufacturing biomaterials for orthopedics and other medical devices.

We use our world-class science and engineering expertise to create bioresorbable load-bearing materials. The aim is to replace metals and help our customers to take advantage of demanding market opportunities.

Our goal and driving ambition is to be the trusted partner of choice. We deliver high-value biodegradable composite materials and solutions to our clients. In addition, use our world-class science and engineering to seize market opportunities. Together we solve some of the world’s biggest challenges in resorbable polymer chemistry and processing of strong biomaterials.

Since bioplastics entered technical application and medical device markets, they have lacked the mechanical and/or thermal properties. Arctic Biomaterials came up with innovative solutions through its ABMcomposite technology. We close the property gap between bioplastics and non-biodegradable plastics.

Strong biomaterials in the Medical field

This is the first time that strong bioresorbable materials will be used in load-bearing applications. Manufacturers will be given the design freedom to make competitive implants for titanium or metal alloys. ABMcomposite technology will open also totally new indications and markets for bioresorbable materials.

The Technical field elevates with strong biomaterials

ABMcomposite technology will for the first time introduce strong biomaterials. They can truly compete with traditional composites made using conventional processing techniques. This is due to the materials having comparable processability, high heat resistance, and excellent mechanical properties.
