Orchid Orthopedic Solutions – Coatings Capabilities

Orchid Orthopedics - Speed, Value, Innovation

Meeting the Challenge of Implant Fixation. Orchid offers a wide variety of advanced technology coatings and surface treatments to meet the challenge of implant fixation. Whether you want the clinical success of hydroxylapatite coating (HA), the high osseo-integration capability of titanium plasma spray (TPS), the roughened surface of resorbable blast media (RBM), or the various morphologies of our porous coatings, you definitely want the custom capabilities, rapid turnaround times and excellent track record that accompany every treatment we offer.

Our Capabilities

Proprietary HA coating on titanium, cobalt-chromium or stainless steel: Orchid is a leader in this technology, with over a million implants coated
TPS orthopedic coating on Titanium or CoCr substrates: with a purity that enables the coating to exceed the ASTM requirement, thereby eliminating cracking
RBM surface treatment on Titanium substrates: creating a roughened surface comparable to a 100 mesh A1203 finish without leaving any embedded debris
Composite coatings: including HA on plasma, beads, chemtex and irregular sintered coatings, as well as TPS on RBM-prepared substrates
Porous coatings: such as spherical bead and irregular particle coatings, available in a range of powder sizes, types and coating processes to meet tight tolerances or unusual specifications
Passivation per ASTM F86: meeting the highest standards of cleanliness
Custom coating technologies: based on our unparalleled experience in the heat-treating process
Quality control: including visual, dimensional and mechanical
testing as well as NDT capability
