To design a successful implant system, one needs not only a great deal of knowledge about biology and mechanics, but also an understanding of what happens when the two interact.
Early on in the development of the Astra Tech Implant System™, we realized the value of a holistic approach. That is why the Astra Tech Implant System™ was uniquely based not only on a biological but also a biomechanical approach.
With the introduction of the OsseoSpeed™ surface, providing unique nano scale topography, we have taken this to the next level by incorporating biochemistry. Just as in nature, a successful existence cannot be determined by one single element alone. The terms biomechanics and biochemistry are no longer sufficient as there must be several interdependent features working together. This interaction is what we call the Astra Tech BioManagement Complex™.
