Femoral head prosthesis BIOLOX delta

BIOLOX delta is a high performance ceramic biocomposite material with the potential to be used in applications which were not previously possible using ceramics. It combines the excellent material properties of alumina ceramics in terms of chemical and hydrothermal stability with extremely low wear, superior mechanical strength and improved fracture toughness. Advantages of BIOLOX delta no scratches excellent wettability improved fracture toughness maximum biocompatibility Historical data BIOLOX materials are the gold standard for orthopedic application. No other manufacturer’s material is used as often for wear couples as BIOLOX ceramics. Wear and osteolysis Studies show that ceramic wear couples have an osteolytic potential that is roughly 50 times lower than highly cross-linked polyethylene. Ceramic ball heads reduce polyethylene wear to significantly less than 0.1 mm per year. Compared to metal/polyethylene solutions, BIOLOX /polyethylene wear couples reduce the rate of implant loosening and revision surgery and the associated complications by 2-5 times.
