E-MAX Acetabular liners are available in standard and elevated (10°) configurations for head sizes up to 40 mm and cup sizes up to 64/66 mm. For full details, refer to the A450 Acetabular System Sizes and Specs.
E-MAX Acetabular Inserts Benefits
E-MAX underwent extensive laboratory evaluations, including mechanical, material characterization, and wear simulator testing. Performance was compared to both conventional (3.5 Mrad sterilized) and 10 Mrad highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE). Excellent Wear Properties The crosslinking density of E-MAX for hip was fine-tuned to be about the same as 10 Mrad XLPE and has demonstrated similarly low […]

BIOLOX delta Ceramic Heads Features and Benefits
Better Wear Properties than CoCr Compared to cobalt-chromium (CoCr) femoral heads, BIOLOX®† delta femoral heads offer: Smoother surface finish Harder surface Improved wettability A smoother surface results in less friction—and typically less wear—during articulation. A harder material better resists surface scratching, maintaining the smooth surface over time. [1] The hydrophilic ceramic surface helps provide excellent […]
BIOLOX delta Ceramic Design Rationale
Culmination of over 30 years of ceramics research BIOLOX®† delta represents the most recent advance in the evolution of alumina ceramic for orthopedic applications—providing the well-known advantages of previous generation alumina ceramics along with innovative toughening mechanisms. (Table 1) Combines strength and toughness As a composite of alumina and zirconia, BIOLOX delta combines the excellent […]
MAX Acetabular Inserts Sizes and Specs
MAX acetabular inserts are available in standard and elevated (10°) configurations for head sizes up to 40 mm and cup sizes up to 64/66 mm. For full details, refer to the A450 Acetabular System Sizes and Specs.
MAX Acetabular Inserts Benefits
MAX underwent extensive laboratory evaluations, including wear simulator testing. Excellent wear properties MAX demonstrated 95% less wear than conventional polyethylene. [1] Stability with large diameter heads Larger diameter heads have been shown to lead to improved range of motion and lower dislocation rates. [2,3,4,5] MAX acetabular inserts are available for use with heads up to […]
MAX Acetabular Inserts Design Rationale
Optimized crosslinking for wear resistance First generation XLPE hip inserts have demonstrated very low wear rates in both hip simulators and in clinical radiographic studies. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] Researches have found that the optimal radiation dose for improving wear resistance is about 10 Mrad, above which no further beneficial effects are observed. Thus, MAX is irradiated to […]
