Description
Product Detail:-
- Vitelene® is a highly crosslinked polyethylene blended with vitamin E. Vitamin E provides long-term oxidation protection by binding free radicals through the release of H atoms. Polyethylene powder GUR 1020 is mixed with vitamin E (0.1 % - α-tocopherol) and pressed into sheets. Afterwards a total dose of 80 kGy electron beam radiation is applied to crosslink the blank product
Highly crosslinked polyethylene with vitamin E
- In contrast to polyethylene implants which are doped with vitamin E by diffusion as finished parts, blending of polyethylene by mixing vitamin E already into the raw powder guarantees a vitamin E concentration also in the deep areas of the material.
- Due to its excellent wear and oxidation resistance and balanced mechanical properties, Vitelene® represents a new generation of highly crosslinked polyethylene for total hip arthroplasty.
