Metal and Bone Cement Sensitivity in Patients

The Persona SoluTion PPS Femur is an alternative metal knee implant for patients who are sensitive to certain metals or bone cement, designed with clinically proven cementless1 and surface-hardening technology2

Metal sensitivity is an immunological reaction of the body against metallic particles (ions) that are released because of implant wear from many common knee implants, such as Cobalt Chrome. Bone cement sensitivity has been shown in some total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. One study showed almost 1 in 4 patients who received a cemented implant had contact allergies to common materials found in bone cement, such as Gentamicin and Benzoyl Peroxide.3

Benefits

Persona® SoluTion™ PPS® Femur

Surface Treatment vs. Coating

The Tivanium® Ti-6AI-4V Alloy metal of the Persona SoluTion Knee is not coated like other femurs on the market. The surface treatment process is proven to have higher hardness which may lead to improved scratch resistance and implant wear after a total knee arthroplasty (tka) compared to a Cobalt Chrome metal.2,4

Cementless Efficiency

Cementless fixation may reduce overall operative time in a procedure,1  with some studies showing 10-20 minutes of time savings in the O.R. compared to cementless total knee replacement.5
