• Pyrocarbon Implant

Advanced Materials for Extremities Orthopedics

• Pyrolytic carbon (pyrocarbon) is gaining widespread acceptance for use in orthopedics due to its excellent biocompatibility, extremely low friction coefficient, and high resistance to wear.

• 
  
  Pyrocarbon also has a bioelastic modulus quite similar to bone, making it an ideal material for orthopedic implants. Our proprietary method of pyrocarbon and metal mating — a ground-breaking feature never before possible with pyrocarbon implants — provides optimal articulation combined with proven implant fixation. This innovative technology supports our intention to advance the applications of pyrocarbon in orthopedics.
