Technology for Manufacturing New ZTA Ceramic Based Femoral Head and Cup (alumina ceramic or PE) for Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Total Hip Replacement (THR) implants based on new ZTA ceramic head and new ZTA ceramic/ polymer acetabular cup.

Useful in Healthcare Sector.

• Affordable and state-of-the-art healthcare solution
• Range of new compositions of ZTA with tailored mechanical properties and enhanced fracture toughness without compromising other mechanical properties, such as, hardness 
• Due to surface wettability characteristics, it provides low coefficient of friction and therefore squeaking is expected to be reduced post implantation
• New ZTA composite composition enhances interaction with physiological environment forming lubricious tribofilm leading to low coefficient of friction 
• The composite composition helps in effective sintering without grain growth and form high aspect ratio phases that can improve fracture resistance
