SINTX has developed a powdered form of our silicon nitride, called AP2 (for Antipathogenic Powder), that is now being evaluated as an additive, coating, or composite, used to impart or enhance antipathogenic properties of a variety of products.
This proprietary powder composition shows antibacterial1 properties, antifungal2 properties, and antiviral3 properties. Our material has a dual effect in that it also enhances bone formation when used as a spinal implant, i.e., it is osteogenic4.
