E1™ Antioxidant Infused Technology and Regenerex® Porous Metal
Biomet continues to work on introducing new technologies that may increase the longevity of its orthopedic implants. Two such technologies have been introduced recently with implants available for total hip replacement.
E1™ Antioxidant Infused Technology, from Biomet, is the only Vitamin E enhanced polyethylene. The process begins with Biomet's clinically proven ArCom® polyethylene. Vitamin E, a natural anti-oxidant, is then added to the ArCom® poly, which has demonstrated, in laboratory testing, a greater resistance to harmful oxidation.1 Polyethylene oxidation is like rust on a car, which can weaken the polyethylene.
Regenerex® Porous Titanium Construct is a highly porous metal engineered to allow bone to rapidly grow into the implant, which can enhance fixation. Regenerex® material is used for the hip cup, the implant that resurfaces the damaged socket portion of the hip. The cup can then be used with E-Poly™ Vitamin E liners.
Biomet is a manufacturer of orthopedic implants and does not practice medicine. Only an orthopedic surgeon can determine what treatment is appropriate. Individual results of total joint replacement may vary. The life of any implant will depend on your weight, age, activity level, and other factors. For more information on risks, warnings, and possible adverse effects, see the Patient Risk Information section found within Biomet.com. Always ask your doctor if you have any questions regarding your particular condition or treatment options.
