BEARING INSERT

Produced from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, the bearing insert features a complex shape and absorbs weight to avoid metal-on-metal stress in an artificial knee. The component requires absolute precision, even as the stringy properties of the material used make machining more difficult. Dedicated finishing tools with extremely sharp cutting edges can enable the necessary levels of quality.
