In both cases Medthin coatings significantly improve the performance of these systems. Polyethylene-based Designs The established design of articulating systems experiencing heavy loads, as for example in the case of a full knee replacement, is to use a polyethylene separator to avoid metal-on-metal (MOM) contact. Here Ionbond nanoscale coatings are essential in three ways: Prevents corrosion caused by contact with body fluids Minimizes the creation of polyethylene wear debris Reduction of the metallic ion concentration by a factor of 1000 x over uncoated implants Metal-on-Metal Designs In some systems metal-on-metal contact is the preferred solution. These ball-socket type of joints are common in hips, wrists, ankles, and fingers. Ionbond over the last 15 years has developed special coatings for these ball-socket systems. With the loads bearing directly on the metallic joints the wear resistance in such systems is of primary importance. Medthin coatings provide: Reduced wear by a factor of 10 over uncoated joints Low friction coefficients of less than 0.2 Consistently high film cohesion 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 Wear Resistance
