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 […]
BIOLOX delta Ceramic Heads
Paired with E-MAX Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene for a complete bearing solution, engineered for long-term performance. What is BIOLOX®† delta? BIOLOX delta is zirconia-toughened alumina ceramic. This nanocomposite was engineered to provide the well-known advantages of previous generation alumina ceramics with the addition of improved fracture toughness. E-MAX Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene and BIOLOX delta ceramic are […]
