The Avantage™ primary and revision acetabular system combines the benefit of a large-diameter bearing with an ultra-low wear vitamin stabilised highly crossed linked polyethylene.
E1™ Antioxidant Infused Technology provides outstanding oxidation resistance. In addition, in-vitro test results comparing 52mm Avantage E1™ inserts to ArCom™ inserts unveiled nearly 95% reduction in average volumetric wear per million cycle.
The enhanced high performance Avantage™ E1™ insert will supplement the existing Avantage acetabular platform by offering:
- potentially increased implant longevity
- a reduced risk of implant revision due to wear debris
