Ceramys Ceramic Femoral Head System








Ceramys™ Ceramic Femoral Head System
Specifically Designed for Orthopedics
Ceramys™ ceramic heads are manufactured using alumina toughened zirconia, an optimized mix of the materials currently used in ceramics. Material and mechanical properties were tested and compared against the industry standard ceramic head.1 In key tests, Ceramys™ heads performed equivalently or better.2,3,4 Additionally, Ceramys™ ceramic heads have been in clinical use globally for 18 years, with 144,500 heads implanted and no fractures.5
- Overview
- Documents
- References
Strong
- Superior fracture resistance with high burst and impact strength2,3
- Material composition supports improved liner wear rate4
Simple
- No sleeves are needed on larger head sizes
- Confidently use larger, more stable heads without increased modularity
Trusted
- Implanted for 18 years in 16 countries worldwide5
- Over 144k heads implanted and 0 failures due to fracture5
BURST STRENGTH2 (kN)
HIGHER BURST STRENGTH than the industry standard ceramic head
IMPACT STRENGTH3 (J)
HIGHER IMPACT STRENGTH than the industry standard ceramic head
AVERAGE LINER WEAR RATE4 (mg/Mc)
LOWER LINER WEAR RATE than the industry standard ceramic head
