Most of the MUTARS® components can be coated with silver and TiN (titanium nitride). For further information please consult the MUTARS® brochure (REF: MUTOVERE).

In recent years, because of the antimicrobial effect of silver ions, the CE certified MUTARS® Silver components have become the standard option for the treatment of tumour patients in several major tumour centers throughout Europe and to date more than 12,500 successful MUTARS® Silver implantations have been performed.

TiN-coating (ceramic)

The biocompatible TiN coating reduces the release of metall ions to a minimum and hence is especially suitable for patients with sensitivity to cobalt, chrome and nickel. Additionally, the ceramic TiN coating improves abrasion resistance because ceramic coatings have a higher hardness grade, scratch and corrosion resistance compared to standard uncoated metals. The TiN-coating on MUTARS® components has been used successfully in the clinical setting for over 20 years
