Bone implants covered with Si-DLC Layers

Carbon

Advantage of the used method: 

• low temperature process - no structural changes, no risk of intercrystalline corrosion occurence
• Obtaining carbon and and carbon silicon layers of high purity and homogeneity
• Ability to cover implants of spatially expanded geometry
• High performance of the process - the ability to coduct the process for several dozen of implanmts simultaneously
• Ability to produce layers on most metallic biomaterials

BENEFITS OF APPLICATION OF Si-DLC Coating:

• ​​Incresed biotolerance of the implant 
• Prevention of heavy metal ion migration to periapical areas - no occurrence of metallosis
• Very high corrosion resistance of implanted implant in tissue environment and body fluids
