Proven Technology

Built on Clinical Performance

Persona Revision boasts the most clinically proven1-3 biological fixation portfolio on the market with over 20 years of successful clinical use. Combined with our premium bearing technology, Persona Revision Knee System provides customers with solutions to improve patient outcomes.

Trabecular Metal™ Material

Highly porous material is designed to replicate the structure, function and physiological properties of cancellous bone4

  • Made of commercially pure Tantalum
  • Published 0.98 coefficient of friction* against cancellous bone for initial stability 5
  • Engineered, open and interconnected pore structure with up to 80% porosity with 100% open-interconnected cell structure 4,5
  • Average pore size of 440 microns designed to support bony in-growth vascularization4,5

Vivacit-E® Vitamin-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene

Patients are expecting more out of the implants, and with that in mind, Persona Revision Bearings were created exclusively out of Vivacit-E Vitamin-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene. Vivacit-E polyethylene is actively stabilized with Vitamin-E to help protect against oxidation and maintain wear resistance and strength throughout the life of the implant. Results in a technologically advanced material that provides superior:

  • Exceptional Oxidative Stability6,7
  • Ultra-low Wear8,9
  • Enhanced Mechanical Strength10,11
