Total Joint Orthopedics (TJO) introduced its Klassic® Knee System with Aurum® Technology. Aurum is the first step as part of TJO’s multi-year plan to reduce the use of cobalt chrome in orthopedic implants.
The patented ion beam enhanced deposition process ballistically bonds a titanium nitride coating to a titanium femur substrate for improved wear resistance, abrasion resistance and surface hardness vs. cobalt chrome. The surface provides an implant without the deliberate addition of common metal sensitizers such as nickel, cobalt and chromium. Titanium is 50% lighter than cobalt chrome, and the Aurum Femur is designed to more closely replicate the weight of native bone, making it a strong, lightweight implant designed for longevity.
The Klassic Femur with Aurum Technology made its debut earlier this year.
“Our team has been working diligently for several years to find a material that can rival cobalt chrome in strength and hardness, and we are thrilled to introduce the first cobalt chrome alternative to our portfolio,” said Erin Hofmann, CEO of Total Joint Orthopedics.
