Zimmer Biomet's E1® Antioxidant Infused Technology is the only bearing option that utilises a proprietary diffusion process to maximise strength, wear resistance and prevent oxidative degradation of the polyethylene.
Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, stabilises free radicals, preventing oxygen from reacting with the polyethylene. This allows Zimmer Biomet’s E1 Antioxidant infused bearings to prevent oxidative degradation of polyethylene2*, overcome the limitations of re-melted and annealed polyethylenes by uniting oxidative stability with high mechanical strength and ultra-low wear.1,3
