Physical and chemical properties
- Chemical composition: Hydroxyapatite has the chemical formula Ca5HO13P3. This composition is very similar to the mineral composition of human bones, thus enhancing its biocompatibility with biological tissues.
- Crystallization: The crystal structure of hydroxyapatite enables it to achieve optimal integration with bone tissue, promoting the natural healing process.
- Porosity : Our hydroxyapatite has a controllable porosity, which is crucial for cell attachment and proliferation. This property enhances the material's ability to support new bone growth.
- Solubility : Hydroxyapatite has low solubility under physiological conditions, ensuring its long-term stability and effectiveness in vivo.
