OXINIUM Retrieval
CoCrMo Retrieval

A recent study presented at ORS indicates that the choice of femoral
head material can have a major impact on the presence of corrosion in
vivo
1
. With its biocompatible properties, due to its use of OXINIUM™
femoral heads, VERILAST Technology has shown to reduce taper
corrosion in total hip arthroplasty. This feature makes VERILAST
Technology an optimal solution for total hip arthroplasty.

CoCrMo heads show more corrosion and corrosion by products
compared to OXINIUM alloy
