VERILAST™ TechnologyCombining the award-winning, pioneering materials of OXINIUM™ Oxidized Zirconium and highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), Smith & Nephew was able to create VERILAST™ Technology, a highly durable and long-lasting material combination.

When comparing Smith & Nephew’s conventional technology to its XLPE technology, the XLPE technology provides an expected, significant reduction in wear rates. Moreover, when comparing Smith & Nephew’s XLPE technology to VERILAST Technology, there is another significant reduction in wear rates. Understanding these tests were conducted using pristine components, the differences in these wear rates would be even more pronounced with roughened components due to the resistance to micro-scratches of the VERILAST couple.

The implants identified above were tested by their manufacturers using different testing protocols and, therefore, the results are not directly comparable.

Metal ContentOXINIUM™ Oxidized Zirconium, exclusively from Smith & Nephew, has less than 0.0035% nickel content, compared to a maximum content of 0.5% in cobalt chrome and 0.1% in titanium.

Surgeons should be aware that all metal implants contain varying amounts of cobalt, chromium, and nickel.

Conventional total knee designs are symmetric and unanatomic in shape and motion. The result of this is an unnatural ligament strain and conflicting kinematics. The anatomic restoration of JOURNEY II TKA is designed to provide higher level of patient satisfaction and activity.5

You, the surgeon, are left tempering your patients’ expectations and tolerating the limited capabilities of traditional knee replacements.
