Our award-winning,1 advanced implant material for hip and knee arthroplasty. Not a coating, it provides the wear resistance of a ceramic, the durability of metal, corrosion resistance better than ceramic and CoCr - while containing virtually zero cobalt, nickel and chromium2-13
OXINIUM Oxidized Zirconium has several key properties that differentiate it from other bearing materials, with each material property contributing to the performance of OXINIUM Technology implants.
OXINIUM Technology has demonstrated the ability to:
The end result is a material that has demonstrated the lowest risk of revision in multiple national and regional hip registries,14-17 and the ability to significantly reduce the risk of revision caused by aseptic loosening and infection, versus cobalt chrome implants of the same design in total knee replacement.22
