EPORE

implantcast GmbH founded in 1988, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tumour and revision endoprosthesis. Since implantcast GmbH foundation it has strived to utilize the latest new and innovative manufacturing processes available in medical technology. implantcast GmbH have pioneered the use of Titanium nitrite coating in order to improve the potential longevity of the prosthesis, and Silver Coating in order to address high infection rates in tumour endoprosthesis. A new phase in implantcast GmbH pursuit to bring the very latest innovative technology to its product portfolio is EPORE®. A highly porous structure formed by Additive manufacturing technology, which allows the formation of highly complex structures at a cost that does not make it prohibitive to healthcare organisations. A major goal of orthopaedics is to maintain, assist and restore a person’s mobility. In some areas surgeons and patients are reliant on custom-made designs in order to achieve a satisfactory outcome. The challenge has always been to deliver high quality prosthesis to the very highest quality standards, in the most expedient way, while keeping the cost down to acceptable levels. implantcast GmbH investment in Additive Manufacturing will enhance its already wellestablished custom product service, allowing new solutions that where not possible prior to this exciting new technology, or too costly because of the limitations of previous manufacturing processes.
