Australia-based Smith & Nephew are providers of emerging technologies and equipments to healthcare professionals. The company offers products that include Neuron spinal microscopes, ENT microscopes, dental microscopes, surgical microscope adapters and research microscopes.
The Smith and Nephew offers Oxinium Knee Implant Systems. These systems are prepared from oxidised zirconium. They can withstand the wear and tear for more than 10 to 15 years and suitable for the patients younger than 65 years. These Oxinium Knee Implant Systems offer the option of femoral knee implants made from oxidized zirconium, which reduces wearing by up to 85% in both the Genesis II and Profix total knee system.
Oxinium Knee Implant Systems allow younger and more active patients to get benefit from knee replacement surgery. Since oxidised zirconium does not have any detectable amount of nickel the OXINIUM implants also increases the opportunity for the patients with an acute allergy to nickel to have knee replacement surgery. The availability of Genes Oxinium II and Profix total knee systems makes these products of Smith and Nephew suitable for all users.
