MCD Apatitic Abrasive
Resorbable Blast Media (RBM)

A Biocompatible Alternative to Conventional Abrasive Grit Blasting

Scanning electron microscope image of Himed's granular biocompatible micro abrasive, MCD, used for the post-processing of titanium and PEEK medical devices

Himed’s award-winning MCD Apatitic Abrasive is a biocompatible, resorbable blast media ideal for post-processing titanium, titanium alloy, and PEEK surfaces.

Engineered to create uniform micro-porosity, it enhances implant surface morphology for better osseointegration and natural cell adhesion.

Unlike conventional grit-blast abrasives, MCD Apatitic Abrasive leaves no residual abrasive as an embedded contaminant, ensuring a clean, residue-free surface following passivation.

Himed offers micro-abrasive blasting using MCD via our MATRIX MCD® and MATRIX Dual® processes, and we sell MCD as a raw material in a variety of granule sizes.
