Knee Implants With the Potential to Be Long Lasting
The durability of knee implants depends on many things including patient weight and activity level, as well as the implant’s bearing surface technology.
Improved Wear Performance
The bearing surface is defined as the
two parts of the knee that glide together
throughout motion. Stryker’s new, advanced
bearing technology, called X3®, has
demonstrated up to 96% decrease
in wear in laboratory testing compared
to competitive premium bearing
technologies.* This decrease in wear may
extend the life of your knee implant. This
new technology is particularly important
for younger patients.
Ask your doctor if X3® technology is right for you.
