and Nephew buy MMT potentially Good News!!!

[Guest guest]

Why is this interesting?

Well and Nephew use Oxinium for THR's / Knee replacements and

have implied they will push it to resurfacing technology acquired

here with purchase of MMT.

Oxinium is 4900 times more abrasion resistant than Cobalt chrome

and has half the friction coefficent of Cobalt Chrome

To date its been used mostly for knees and THR's but if they apply

their licence for this material to the resurfacing approach as

implied in this press release then that means even better

opportunities for those of us who are a few years off replacement

like me. Watch this space!
