FOXBOROUGH, Mass., May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Viant announced today that it has completed a more than $8 million expansion at its Orthopedic Implant and Coating Center of Excellence in Chaumont, France. The expansion includes a new building with a controlled-environment room and an investment in vacuum plasma spray (VPS) coating technology that recently received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In-house VPS coating capability will enable the application of titanium coatings or a dual layer of titanium and hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings. Applied to orthopedic implants such as hips, knees and shoulders, these coatings add friction to help anchor the implant and provide a surface that promotes long-term bone growth and healing. VPS technology allows these coatings to be applied in a thickness that optimizes performance. This new VPS capability complements the Chaumont facility's existing HA coating capabilities, with a track record of more than 8 million implants coated.

Viant's investment includes a new 8,600-square-foot building and an ISO Class 9-equivalent, controlled-environment room with the new VPS torch and related equipment, as well as operations including grit blasting, shot peening and surface finish measurement and inspection.
