S100 Pedicle Screw System
with Helical Flange Technology Description The S100 Pedicle Screw System features a locking cap with a unique Helical Flange®† thread profile. Upon tightening, the upward-turned ends of the locking cap threads press on the downward-turned screw seat threads. This inward force helps avoid splaying of the screw seat.

Benefits BioDur 108 Alloy
The BioDur®† 108 alloy offers all the advantages of commonly used medical grade stainless steels—like 316L, 734, and 22-13-5—along with some additional benefits. High Tensile and Fatigue Strength BioDur 108 has higher tensile and fatigue strength than 316L, 734, and 22-13-5 alloys.[1,2] Low Nickel Content BioDur 108 contains less than 0.05% nickel, which is intended […]
Benefits of E-MAX
E-MAX is highly crosslinked to reduce wear and incorporates two new technologies—mechanical-anneal and Vitamin E—which address known problems with melt-annealed XLPE. Laboratory tests have verified the superior oxidative stability and improved mechanical properties of E-MAX. Wear Resistance The radiation doses for E-MAX hip and knee liners were fine-tuned to achieve crosslinking densities comparable to first-generation […]
E-MAX Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Background
Successes and Setbacks with Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) was developed to address the two major factors known to affect polyethylene longevity in vivo: wear and oxidation.[1] While the XLPE process varies among manufacturers, generally it includes: radiation crosslinking for wear resistance and thermal annealing to address oxidation. Proven Wear Reduction—with Drawbacks Laboratory […]
E-MAX Technology Description
E-MAX is vitamin E-blended (E), mechanically-annealed (MA), crosslinked (X) polyethylene. Developed in Conjunction with Renowned Polymer Experts The E-MAX technology was developed by polymer scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Cambridge Polymer Group (CPG). Engineers collaborated with MGH and CPG to tailor the material’s mechanical properties to meet hip and knee design requirements. Each […]
