: Are any of the coatings offered by gordon bio compatabile?
Hi Michael
I work as a consultant and don't actually provide a coating service. What function/purpose do want from your bio-compatible coating?
Coatings like titanium or alumina are bio-inert and have no significant reaction with living tissue. Coatings like hydroxyapatite on the otherhand can fool living tissue into believing it is bone mineral and interreact.
