CM6618 Tricalcium Phosphate (Ca3O8P2) Rod

Tricalcium Phosphate Bars Description

Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) is a high-temperature variant of calcium phosphate, recognised for its white colour and its resistance to dissolution in ethanol and ether, while easily dissolving in acids and stable against alkalis. TCP is noted for its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, being non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and not causing allergic reactions. When used as artificial bone, it fully degrades over time and is gradually replaced by new bone. Its degradation products (calcium and phosphorus) promote mineralisation and contribute to accelerated healing of bone defects.

TCP is extensively used in orthopaedic, plastic and cosmetic surgery, as well as in dentistry, for the repair of bone defects and to facilitate bone fusion resulting from trauma, tumours, inflammation, and bone diseases. Its exceptional biocompatibility and bioactivity make it an outstanding material for the repair and replacement of human hard tissue.

Applications of Tricalcium Phosphate Bars

• Bone Transplantation:

TCP ceramics are frequently used in orthopaedic surgery as bone transplantation materials to treat bone defects resulting from trauma, fractures, or surgical procedures. They serve as a temporary scaffold that supports the growth of new bone tissue until natural bone regenerates.

• Repair of Bone Defects:

TCP is employed to repair bone defects caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, bone tumours, or infections. Its bioactive properties promote the regeneration of healthy bone tissue, thereby facilitating effective recovery and healing.

FAQs

Q1. What is Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) Ceramic?

Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) ceramic is a bioceramic derived from calcium phosphate, widely used in medicine, particularly in bone repair and regeneration. It is valued for its exceptional biocompatibility, biological degradability, and its ability to promote bone mineralisation.

Q2. What are the main uses of Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) Ceramic?

TCP ceramic is primarily used in orthopaedics for bone grafts, the repair of bone defects, and bone fusion. It also finds application in dentistry and in the treatment of various bone diseases. Due to its bioactive properties, TCP assists in the repair of bone defects caused by trauma, tumours, inflammation, and degenerative diseases.

Q3. What are the benefits of TCP Ceramic?

Biocompatibility: TCP is highly compatible with human tissue, minimising the risk of immune rejection.

Biological Degradability: The material gradually degrades over time and is replaced by natural bone, promoting effective healing.

Stimulates Bone Regeneration: TCP encourages the mineralisation process, accelerates bone healing, and supports the growth of new bone.

Non-toxic: TCP is non-toxic and does not cause allergic reactions or carcinogenic effects.
