Functional description

A sterile implantable device designed to replace the femoral condyles during knee joint replacement. The device articulates with cruciate retaining tibial inserts and, if required, patellar prosthetic components of the knee joint. The internal surface of the femoral component has a sintered CoCr bead coating and a coating of non-animal derived hydroxyapatite. Flex-Lok pegs or finned lugs are added for stability and increased pullout strength. It is intended to be used without cement.
