Very Low Wear

• Ceramic surface hardness reduces friction and improves wear ¹
• Favorable wetting characteristics of ceramic contribute to better lubrication and lower wear ^1-3

Excellent Biocompatibility

• An excellent choice for patients who may be sensitive to specific metal elements such as CoCr found in femoral heads ⁴
• Alternative to a metal-on-metal articulation for surgeons concerned with delayed metal sensitivity due to metal wear and metal ions

High Fracture Resistance

• BIOLOX^®* delta ceramic toughness and bending strength are more than double that of pure Alumina ceramics through the addition of Zirconia and Strontium Oxide ¹
• Fracture toughness increased 150%, burst strength increased 160%, and four-point bending strength improved 210% compared with BIOLOX^®* forte ceramic ^{1, 4}
