Merkurhex® - Implant System
Modern bone level implant system with RBM (Resorbable Blast Media) surface technology
Merkurhex® Implant Features
Wide Range of Diameters
Merkurhex® implant systems deliver ideal diameter options for various bone densities and clinical scenarios. Ranging from 3.2 mm to 5.0 mm, these diameters promote excellent stability and biomechanics. Each option includes a 2.3 mm platform for superstructure integration, providing surgeons with exceptional flexibility and patients with a dependable, long-lasting treatment solution. Merkurhex® implants are available in multiple lengths—from 6 mm up to 16 mm—to accommodate different clinical needs and anatomical variations. Engineered with a high-stability design and Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) titanium, they serve as a dependable solution for both minimally invasive and advanced surgical procedures. Deliver maximum treatment success and optimal patient outcomes!
Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) Titanium
All Merkurhex® implants are manufactured from Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) titanium alloy. Thanks to its remarkable ability to achieve near-complete bone integration, it stands out as the ideal implant manufacturing material. Alongside its superior mechanical strength and durability, it exhibits chemical stability and is biologically inert. Compared to Grade 4 titanium, it is approximately 40% stronger, ensuring enhanced structural integrity and longevity.
Detailed Surface Features
Targeted Roughness
To achieve the desired roughness, the implant is blasted with specially hardened Hydroxyapatite particles, including beta-Tricalcium Phosphate, Alpha-TCP, TTCP, and Calcium Phosphate (CPP). A carefully controlled passivation process follows, selectively dissolving residual particles from the surface. Research indicates that for dental implants, a minimum Ra (roughness average) of approximately 1–1.5 μm is ideal for promoting osseointegration.
Analyses of VenüsCon® products reveal Ra values above the commonly accepted range of 1–1.5 μm, implying a significantly higher bone-to-implant contact ratio. In fact, VenusCon implants consistently achieve a surface roughness of around Ra 2–2.5 μm.
RBM and TiO₂ Coating
VenüsCon® Implants are coated with a thin Titanium Oxide (TiO₂) layer and further refined using an RBM process involving Calcium Phosphate. As a biocompatible material, Calcium Phosphate increases the implant’s surface area, maximizing bone-to-implant contact. This process is meticulously designed to roughen the surface without leaving any embedded abrasive particles. It entails blasting the implant with Calcium Phosphate to create a macro-topography, then performing passivation to remove any remaining Hydroxyapatite fragments.
Conclusion
By offering a larger surface area, enhanced adhesion properties, and greater biological fixation, this specialized RBM treatment results in a rougher surface than conventional acid-etching methods. The outcome is superior osseointegration, improved mechanical stability, and an optimal bone-implant interface—ultimately contributing to more predictable and long-lasting clinical success.
Merkurhex® Bone Level Implants offer excellent aesthetics and naturalness for many indications.
All Venus Implants are manufactured from Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) titanium alloy, proven to be an ideal material for implant production due to its exceptional ability to achieve nearly complete osseointegration with bone. This alloy also provides superior mechanical strength, durability, and chemical stability. In terms of mechanical performance, it is approximately 40% stronger than Grade 4 titanium.
VenüsCon® Implants feature a thin layer of Titanium Oxide (TiO₂) on their surface. Additionally, the surface undergoes Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) treatment with Calcium Phosphate, a biocompatible material. This enhanced surface technology increases the implant’s overall surface area, thereby maximizing bone-to-implant contact and improving clinical outcomes.
