The primary refinement is the coating of Titanium components (Femur and Tibia) of the B-P knee with an advanced coating method to increase wear and scratch resistance. The coating method is patented TiN ceramic UltraCoat. The B-PT TiN Coated Femoral Component avoids the gender-specific characteristics of some competing designs, such as a lower femoral flange and a lack of normal axial rotation. A lower femoral flange increases the risk of patellar subluxation, a problem that affects far more women than men. The inability to provide normal axial rotation generates extra forces on the knee implants and bone - implant interfaces, increasing the risk of wear and loosening.The thoroughly tested TiN coat should be ultracoated.The use of ultracoat on the articulating surfaces reduces wear and tear.They are lighter, stronger and long lasting.Designed as deep dish to reduce the contact stress.
