[nanoPost] Nano-structured hydroxyapatite for tissue engineering

Company Canada

The company's lead product in development is Amorphous Nano- Hydroxyapaite Powder. Nano-structured hydroxyapatite has several advantages over hydroxyapatite of larger particle size in its use in bone tissue engineering due to its higher surface area and consequently higher reactivity, which offers better cellular response. In addition, nano-sized hydroxyapatite is useful as an effective surface modification agent for binding numerous biological molecules.

Amorphous hydroxyapatite has chemistry and structure identical to that  of natural human bone. The novel technology is great potential to be  used for orthopedic and dental applications.

High Strength Calcium Phosphate Cement

The company pursues the leading-edge research and development of the processing technologies resulting in novel high strength bone cements  with body-like compatible structure, ideal biocompatibility, desired degree of biodegradability, and fast-setting desired for numerous biomedical applications.

Nano-Hydroxyapatite Technologies for Drug Delivery Applications

A process capable of encapsulating various therapeutic agents such as drugs, proteins etc., in different forms of CPC will be developed.  A wider  spectrum of therapeutic agent release patterns, e.g. slow release, controlled multi-stage release etc., will be designed.
