A new range of lubricious, hard, and wear-resistant Nitron coatings for biocompatible applications is available from Tecvac. The range includes Nitron O, a new duplex coating that outperforms conventional titanium nitride coatings in highly loaded applications, such as replacement knee and hip joints. In addition Nitron MC and Nitron CA are super-hard carbon-based coatings which combine very high hardness and extreme resistance to wear with ultra- low coefficients of friction, and biocompatibility.
