    These new materials are cross-linked with gamma or electron beam radiation (50–105 kGy) and then thermally processed to improve their oxidation resistance. [1] Five-year clinical data, from several centers, are now available demonstrating their superiority relative to conventional UHMWPE for total hip replacement (see arthroplasty). [24]

  3. Cermet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cermet

    Common materials used for bioceramics include alumina, zirconia, calcium phosphate, glass ceramics, and pyrolytic carbons. One important use of bioceramics is in hip replacement surgery. The materials used for the replacement hip joints were usually metals such as titanium, with the hip socket usually lined with plastic. The multiaxial ball was ...

    the ship that maintains the same "Form" as the original, that which persists through complete replacement of material and; the ship made of the same "Matter", that which stops being 100 per cent the same ship when the first part is replaced. [3] [4]

  5. Hot isostatic pressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_isostatic_pressing

    Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process, used to reduce the porosity of metals and increase the density of many ceramic materials. This improves the material's mechanical properties and workability. The process can be used to produce waste form classes.

  6. Biocompatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocompatibility

    Sometimes one hears of biocompatibility testing that is a large battery of in vitro test [4] that is used in accordance with ISO 10993 (or other similar standards) to determine if a certain material (or rather biomedical product) is biocompatible.

  7. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

    MAC Bioceramics has the longest clinical history for alumina ceramic materials, manufacturing HIP Vitox® alumina since 1985. [13] Some calcium-deficient phosphates with an apatite structure were thus commercialised as "tricalcium phosphate" even though they did not exhibit the expected crystalline structure of tricalcium phosphate.
