Combining advanced material with
anatomic design

Radiopaque prostheses allow for
Intraoperative verification of implant
position and post operative assessment.
|
anatomic design

- interchangeable sizes
- central slip tracking feature
- bicondylar anatomic design
- Anatomic implant shape and easy-to-use instrumentation promote implant alignment, stability, and restored joint kinematics.
- Bone removal is minimized.
- Critical soft tissue structures are preserved.
- Alignment Awl and Guides provide
accurate visual reference along the bone axis promoting restoration of anatomic bone alignment.

advanced material
PyroCarbon
|

Elastic modulus of metal is much
greater than that of bone or PyroCarbon.
PyroCarbon minimizes bone loss due to stress shielding.

Implant Durability
Twenty years of clinical experience* as a ball-and-socket MCP total joint replacement demonstrate:
- Biocompatibility - an average of 11.8 years of long-term follow-up with high degree of patient satisfaction.
- Fatigue and Wear Resistance - tissue samples show no evidence of adverse wear.
- Device Strength and Durability
Implant Stability
- Biochemical and Biomechanical Compatibility promotes biological fixation and inert nature of PyroCarbon eliminates concern with silicone and other less biocompatible materials.
- Cementiess - eliminating potential cement-related complications.
