Abstract:
First-generation once annealed highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) has perfomed well for over 10 years but the presence of free radicals remain a concern. A second-generation sequentially annealed HXLPE was developed to further reduce wear, maintain mechanical strength, and enhance oxidative resistance.
