Application
Hydroxyapatite Microspheres serve as an advanced biomaterial, capitalizing on the unique properties of hydroxyapatite, which closely resembles the mineral component of bone and teeth. This material, notable for its biocompatibility and nontoxicity, has been widely utilized in the medical and dental fields since its initial development in the 1970s. Recent innovations have extended its applicability beyond bone fillers to include uses in various percutaneous devices, as well as in dialysis and intravenous systems, thanks to its compatibility with skin tissues. Hydroxyapatite Microspheres also find roles in chromatography, catalysis, and sensor applications, further underscoring its versatility. Its structure, characterized by ionic channels that enhance conductivity, adds a unique dimension to its functionality. The material's ability to interchange ions, such as replacing surface ions with fluoride, provides significant benefits, including dental protection. By mirroring the structure and function of natural bone mineral, Hydroxyapatite Microspheres offer impressive potential in both medical applications and research endeavors.
