Overview
BLB is a Chinese brand notable because independent, peer-reviewed research exists on its surface: a 2012 animal study compared two BLB generations, an older plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coating against a newer micro-arc-oxidation surface. That published evidence is why this brand is worth recording despite the manufacturer’s English documentation being hard to reach. Dimensions are left unverified because no primary source we could open lists them.
