Titanium Anodized Custom Implant

Dear All,

We have a custom implant which is very close to the skin surface. If we leave it in its natural state it will darken the skin very quickly. As this is a visable implant this is no good.

Material: Grade 2 Titanium.

I have limited infomation on anodizing so if you can give enough infomation to carry out this process safely it would be appreciated.

Paul, what color do you think is the best for the implant? We can provide you with the environmentally friendly anodizing solution to obtain the color you want. The range of colors available are on our web site.
