Zimmer Biomet announced FDA 510(k) clearance of the Persona SoluTion Porous Plasma Spray (PPS) Femur, a total knee implant component offering an alternative for patients with sensitivities to bone cement and/or metal. The Persona SoluTion PPS Femur features a porous coating for cementless fixation and leverages a proprietary surface treatment designed to enhance wear performance.
The components will be commercially available in the U.S. in 1Q25.
Persona SoluTion PPS Femur offers cementless fixation with its PPS coating that provides initial scratch fit stability and supports biologic fixation through bony ongrowth. When combined with Persona OsseoTi tibia and Vivacit-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene (HXLPE), the total knee implant is designed to minimize the most common metal sensitizers (nickel, cobalt and chromium) likely to elicit an immune response and is made of a proprietary Tivanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy with over 17 years of clinical use. The Tivanium alloy is treated with the Ti-Nidium Surface Hardening Process and is compatible with Vivacit-E HXLPE articular surfaces. The Persona Solution PPS femur coupled with a Vivacit-E bearing demonstrates similar wear performance as compared to Persona cobalt chromium alloy femur coupled with a Vivacit-E bearing.
“With the FDA clearance of Persona SoluTion PPS Femur, in combination with our Persona OsseoTi Tibia and OsseoTi Patella, we are proud to offer surgeons a fully cementless alternative to cobalt-chrome implants,” said Joe Urban, President, Knees at Zimmer Biomet. “Persona SoluTion PPS Femur combines our latest advances in cementless fixation with decades of proprietary clinical expertise in developing novel materials and surface hardening processes. The utility and versatility of our comprehensive and clinically proven Persona Knee System is further enhanced with the addition of this innovative solution that could help surgeons address two potential causes of revision procedures: sensitivities to bone cement and metal.”
