Exactech is one of the few companies to offer advanced vitamin E technology for both hip and knee replacement surgery. The company's Activit-E^®polyethylene for knees and Alteon^®XLE polyethylene for hips are both highly crosslinked and vitamin E-infused bearing technologies. Both of these proprietary polyethylene designs were developed by the experts at Massachusetts General Hospital, and are designed to minimize wear, while maintaining long-term oxidative stability.

"Exactech is excited to showcase our new hip and knee innovations at AAHKS this year, including our advanced vitamin E polyethylene for joint reconstruction surgery," said Adam Hayden, Exactech Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Large Joints. "By combining modern bearing materials with the newest surgical technologies and approaches, we're empowering surgeons with the latest solutions designed for patient function, reproducible outcomes and long-term implant performance."

The company will also host an ExacTECH symposium and discussion, entitled, "Resurface Your Opinion on Anatomic Joint Replacement," on Friday, Nov. 8 from 7-10 p.m. CT, featuring Exactech's Chief Strategy and Medical Officer Sharat Kusuma, M.D., alongside distinguished hip and knee surgeons, Michael Mont, M.D., and Thomas Meade, M.D. Key discussion topics will include advanced hip surfacing technologies, which also leverage vitamin E, highly crosslinked polyethylene and anatomic, kinematic knee alignment philosophies. In addition to alignment approaches, the faculty will discuss Exactech's suite of technologies that can enable gap balancing or kinematic alignment techniques.
