Anodizing Type II - DOTIZE®

The DOTIZE® anodizing process replaces the thin natural oxide film present at the implant surface by a thick oxide layer. Micropores and cracks in the base material are reduced by the anodization. The DOTIZE® procedure conforms to the standard AMS 2488 (Aerospace Material Specification).
