Controlled cell Adhesion and aCtivity onto TAl6V TItanium alloy by grafting of the SURFace: Elaboration of orthopaedic implants capable of preventing joint prosthesis infection

The project ANR TECSAN “ACTISURF” has for main objective to propose a new generation of joint prosthesis (hip, knee, shoulder) made of TAl6V titanium alloy capable of limiting and even preventing the joint infections. A chemical modification of titanium surfaces has been set up to confer desirable functional and required properties to the joint prostheses. In order to prevent bacteria adhesion and to improve the long-term osteointegration,...
