What are the components and specifications of Passivity Plus™?
What are the materials, components, specifications, and key innovations of Passivity Plus™?
Passivity Plus™ is engineered from premium Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6AL-4V-ELI), the same biocompatible alloy trusted in medical implants. Its compact, four-piece design integrates several patented innovations to deliver a passive, stress-free fit.
The Four Components
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Base body | Connects to the multi-unit abutment; contains a 5° internal taper |
| Pivotable adjustable cap | Receives prosthesis cement; self-adjusts during seating, then locks when torqued |
| Screw | One-piece design with a 5° body taper and smooth surface; creates the cold weld |
| Washer | Flexible element around the screw head; the key patent innovation |
Key Innovations
| Innovation | Function |
|---|---|
| Pivotable self-adjusting cap | Compensates for minor misfits during prosthesis seating |
| Conical cold-welding screw | 5° taper creates a cold weld at 25 N·cm, eliminating screw loosening |
| Patented washer design | Prevents re-centering during torque, preserving the adjusted position |
