Form & Roughness of Medical Devices and Implants
The manufacturing and function of these implants requires the use of unique materials and processes to allow proper osseointegration. Efforts to reduce or eliminate implant loosening requires surface textures appropriate for the joining of the natural bone growth of the human body.
The ability to quantify the process stability necessitates metrology which has the dynamic range to measure extremely rough to smooth surfaces repeatably.
