Resisting Oxidation
X3 Advanced Bearing Technology demonstrates high oxidation resistance under extreme laboratory conditions (immersion in 5 atmospheres of oxygen at 70 degrees Celsius for 14 days).3
With Stryker X3 Advanced Bearing Technology, surgeons and hospitals may now provide their patients with improved wear resistance in tibial inserts and patellar components that maintain the strength characteristics of conventional polyethylene.
Stryker X3 shows excellent laboratory test results across all three key performance categories. X3 Advanced Bearing Technology allows for all three of the following: excellent mechanical and fatigue properties;4-9 improved wear performance,3-6 and high resistance to oxidation.1,2
As a pioneer in wear performance technologies, Stryker Orthopaedics remains dedicated to continually developing improved bearing surfaces. Offering quality products to help advance patient care is a priority that Stryker shares with all who we serve. We stand behind X3 Advanced Bearing Technology for hips and knees and look forward to working with you to implement its use in your hospital.
