Hydroxyapatite (HA) Whiskers

Increase the Strength of Bioactive Scaffolds

HA whiskers are single-crystal hydroxyapatite rod-like particles with a high aspect ratio. These particles have the appearance of white whiskers unmagnified but because of their high density (about 3.16 g/cm3) they are actually transparent. Himed can vary the particle size based upon the intended application.

These particles are 100% pure hydroxyapatite that can be utilized in composites to add strength to a bioactive scaffold material. A better surface morphology for bioactivity supports better patient outcomes with a wide variety of medical implants and fasteners.
