Oxinium. Changing implants forever.

Oxinium* (oxidized zirconium) isn't a new implant. It's a new material, exclusively available from Smith & Nephew. Wear debris can be greatly reduced . The nickel content is almost nil, addressing the needs of the nickel-sensitive patient. Hardness, lubricity and abrasion resistance are all improved. Initially, Oxinium is available in our two already proven knee systems - Genesis II and Profix. Ultimately, it will revolutionize your thinking.

Oxinium femoral heads are the newest additions to the Oxinium oxidized zirconium family. Oxinium heads have all the strengths of cobalt chrome and ceramic without the associated risks. They are strong, smooth, resistant to fracture and abrasion, and come in an array of sizes. Oxinium heads represent the best of both worlds.
