Pyrocarbon Implants


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.
