nanoXIM TCP is a calcium deficient hydroxyapatite powder consisting of nanostructured micron-sized aggregates.
This product is used to manufacture blocks, granules and calcium phosphate cements for bone replacement, allowing a gradual biological degradation over a period of time and a progressive replacement by the natural host tissue.

Technical Data Sheet
nanoXIM•TCP200 powder is a synthetic calcium phosphate form commonly designated by calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite. Once sintered at 1000ºC (following ISO 13779 procedures), a minimum of 95% β-TCP phase purity is ensured in accordance with ASTM F1088-04ɛ1.
nanoXIM•TCP200 powder is supplied as synthetic nanostructured micron-size particles of 5 μm with a high specific surface area. This feature is achieved in the drying process by spray dryer technique where the nanoparticles in liquid phase are dried as spherical aggregates.
