New Ceramics Products : Lifecare Division : PENTAX
With the hope to offer something that is "as close to human bones as possible," PENTAX was one of the first companies to develop biocompatible ceramics called “hydroxyapatite” (product name: Apaceram). Hydroxyapatite, which is a chemical compound, is virtually the same as the constituents of human bone. Hydroxyapatite implantation is safe, and in fact, over time, the implant is partially resorbed and replaced by natural bone, as it becomes part of the body. PENTAX technologies are applied in bone-regenerating agents that are widely used in orthopedic and neuro surgeries for the region of bone defects or post-surgical procedures.
The development process of hydroxyapatite began in 1974, and researchers are still striving to develop technologies that will further benefit human life.
APACERAM
“APACERAM,” whose main constituents are virtually the same as those of human bone, is a biocompatible material with useful features, including bone and epithelial adhesion.
CELLYARD™
CELLYARDTM is a cell culture carrier made with the high-purity hydroxyapatite. It is available in the form of scaffolds and pellets and is ideal for various cell cultures.
