Durasul® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene

A breakthrough in polyethylene durability Durasul highly crosslinked polyethylene directly addresses the problems of wear and delamination that lead to implant failure. Durasul polyethylene has the potential to extend an implant’s durability, providing a long-term solution for joint replacement.


Durasul polyethylene was designed and tested to meet the three key standards for successful polyethylene performance in total joint replacement:
  • Resistance to wear through a strong network of
    crosslinks 
  • Resistance to aging achieved by the elimination
    of residual free radicals 
  • Mechanical properties suitable for the knee
    validated by rigorous device-specific testing
