The next-generation bioabsorbable Evolvecomp™ composites are reinforced with bioactive natural mineral fibers, ABM´s X3 fibers. With these composites, our customers can realize their visions for strong bioabsorbable orthopedic implants. ABM´s unique bioactive natural mineral fiber, X3 (or fibre) provides an extremely strong and osteoconductive ingredient to combine with bioresorbable material. Together the composite forms a raw material with excellent benefits even for load-bearing applications.
The X3 bioactive natural mineral fibers are osteoconductive, which allows direct bone-implant interaction. The absorption time can be tailored by composition selection and processing. The Evolvecomp™ grades are suitable for demanding injection moulding, extrusion and compression moulding applications.
All the medical grade Evolvecomp™ materials show excellent biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1 standard. More information HERE.
Access the science behind the X3 and more at the White Papers and Studies section.
