New bioceramic developed by Morgan Technical Ceramics

By R&D Editors | July 28, 2009

Morgan Technical Ceramics has developed a new bioceramic material for surgical implant devices. Vitox AMC is an alumina matrix composite material which can withstand high shock without fracture and exhibits exceptionally low wear rates compared to alumina, metal or polyethylene alternatives. As a result it is ideal for less invasive surgeries, thereby reducing patient trauma and improving post operation recovery time. Vitox AMC, which was developed at the company’s facility in Rugby, UK, is a high purity, sub-micron grain sized alumina matrix composite offering a 55% increase in 4-point flexural strength and a 12.5% increase in fracture toughness compared to high purity implantable grade alumina.
