The Basis for a Second-generation Highly

Crosslinked UHMWPE (X3 HXPE)

(X3 HXPE) uses a sequential irradiation and annealing process Mechanical strength properties preserved with the highest

survivorship in functional fatigue testing Free radical content is low and performance under

accelerated aging is the same as virgin UHMWPE Crystallinity density and tensile strength was unchanged

by oxidative challenge Volumetric wear rate very similar to metal-on-metal

articulations Wear particles were the same size as those produced from

conventional UHMWPE

Annealed highly crosslinked polyethylene may be susceptible to in vivo oxidation

The Basis for a Second-generation Highly

Crosslinked UHMWPE (X3 HXPE)

(X3 HXPE) uses a sequential irradiation and annealing process Mechanical strength properties preserved with the highest

survivorship in functional fatigue testing Free radical content is low and performance under

accelerated aging is the same as virgin UHMWPE Crystallinity density and tensile strength was unchanged

by oxidative challenge Volumetric wear rate very similar to metal-on-metal

articulations Wear particles were the same size as those produced from

conventional UHMWPE

Alternative Bearing Material seek improved function longer survivorship
