Post-op results at 3 months of Bella, a 40lb Staffordshire Terrier, who had a Bilateral TTA Rapid surgery by Dr. Ross Elliot to repair her CCLs.
TTA Rapid is made from Grade 1 pure titanium using innovative additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies that create complex geometries, like porous structures. These porous structures stimulate bone ingrowth through the open porosities, have an improved fixation because of the high roughness and corresponding coefficient of friction, and in addition have a lower stiffness - thus avoiding stress-shielding. The mechanical and clinical performance of the dodecahedron unit cell (used in TTA Rapid) has been reported in literature to show superior dynamical properties and bone regeneration compared to standard Ti-6Al-4V porous structures.
