To get a patient back to the life he/she loves, a knee implant needs to fit an individual from the very start. Since a tight fit between the implant and the adjacent bone provides maximum fixation in the shortest time, Porocoat® Porous Coating is the key to success. This proprietary coating provides just such a fit at the host bone implant interface, maximizing implant stability and the opportunity for bone ingrowth.
A three-dimensional edge.
DePuy Orthopaedics’ regulated, patented coating process results in an extremely strong bond of randomly arranged particles that form interconnected pores. These tiny beads are about a third of the size of larger beaded coatings, which is important, as a direct relationship exists between the bead diameter and the pore size.
