Total Hip Arthroplasty Material
Model: Longevity Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene
Features
• High-Dose Electron-Beam Radiation: Using high-dose electron-beam radiation, this process fully crosslinks broken molecular chains, leaving virtually no free radicals to promote oxidation.
• Three-Dimensional Structure: This process creates a three-dimensional structure that is more resistant to abrasion and process a 10-fold wear rate reduction compared to standard polyethylene control samples. Extensive hip-simulator wear testing has demonstrated the benefits of crosslinking with Longevity Polyethylene
