Since 1988, we have been at the forefront of HA technologies and have supported clinical trials and researchers by optimising our manufacturing and particle engineering for leading performance. Our novel processes and stringent quality control ensure high phase purity (≥ 95%) and high crystallinity (generally ≥ 90%) in our powder products. PBL’s proprietary HA coating technique preserves the HA lattice, giving us class-leading crystallinity ratios of ~ 85 % in our coatings, which have extensive in-market clinical history as a feature of our customers’ orthopaedic devices.
With over 30 years of experience, Plasma Biotal now has a wide portfolio of bespoke calcium phosphate-based medical materials and solutions. We operate an ISO 13485 approved quality system to ensure we consistently supply quality products according to customer and regulatory requirements.
