Description
Zimmer Biomet's Longevity Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene is engineered to enhance wear resistance in total hip arthroplasty. Utilizing high-dose electron-beam radiation, this proprietary process fully crosslinks polyethylene chains, significantly reducing wear rates by up to 89% compared to standard polyethylene. This advancement results in a ten-fold reduction in debris generation, promoting long-term implant durability.

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
