However for the same reasons that researchers have explored ceramic femoral heads for hip replacement detailed in chapter 7 there has been longstanding curiosity about ceramic femoral components for total knee applications 25 26.
Ceramic femoral head component.
No washing or cleaning is necessary.
Biolox forte and biolox delta femoral heads and cup inserts can be combined with ceramic components from the biolox family of products as well as with inserts made from conventional and highly cross linked polyethylene.
The ceramic femoral head must be placed straight down on the sleeve.
The variation in femoral head material causes different levels of friction when motion occurs between it and the acetabular liner thus generating different amounts of wear.
Below you will find an overview of the available sizes and many combination possibilities.
Low wear with multiple liner options.
Below you will find an overview of the available sizes and many combination possibilities.
The system components are ready for assembly on the femoral stem.
The biolox delta option ceramic head features a titanium neck sleeve designed to allow surgeons to utilize a ceramic head in either primary or.
The zimmer biomet ceramic heads are intended for use as a component of a total hip or hemi hip prosthesis in primary and revision patients.
The ceramic femoral head is placed on the head adapter which remains in its position and pressure is applied until resistance is felt.
In revision cases a sleeved ceramic femoral head with a taper adaptor should be implanted.
Non sleeved ceramic femoral heads should only be implanted on pristine non damaged stems.
Biolox forte and biolox delta ball heads and cup inserts can be combined with ceramic components from the biolox family of products as well as with inserts made from conventional and highly cross linked polyethylene.
P biomet offers both the biolox delta and the biolox delta option ceramic femoral heads.
