Innex
Innex™ - the right prosthesis for every patient.
The introduction of the Innex™ system (Innex™ stands for “Innovation Nexus
Next Generation”) in 2001 was an important step in the understanding of the
demanding problems connected with the endoprosthetic treatment of
degenerative diseases of the knee joint.
In the UK, we have launched the mobile bearing version of the prosthesis which has both a rotating platform (UCOR) and AP translation option (CR).
Re-establishment of the natural anatomical relationships between the femur, tibia and patella, together with physiological axis alignment, is a decisive factor if patients are to be treated successfully with predictable and reproducible results.
At the same time, the optimum anchoring principles and the Cancellous Structure Titanium™ (CSTi™) porous coating have set a so far unequalled standard for the cementless fixation of knee prostheses.
The aim of the Innex™ system is to cover as many indications as possible in the field of total knee endoprosthetics. This is possible with a minimum of components. Both mobile (Mobile Bearing) and Fixed Bearing) meniscus components can be used.
The whole Innex™ knee system is based on one single surgical technique. This means that the instrument set can be kept compact and limited in range. Thanks to the molecular structure of the Innex™ knee system, the instrument set is far smaller than that of other systems.
Anatomically shaped implants, coupled with the logical and extremely precise instrument set, enable conservative treatment of degenerative diseases with bone-sparing resections as well as extensive restoration of the natural kinematics of the knee joint.
The multi-centre study has shown that very good results are achieved through a combination of newly developed and proven design principles.
Thanks to the combination of all these criteria, the Innex™ knee systems offers four key advantages in times of rising healthcare costs and heavy cuts in healthcare budgets:
- High levels of patient satisfaction and return to almost normal conditions of life;
- Shorter times for surgery thanks to the efficient and logical instruments;
- Significant savings in terms of hospital inventory thanks to the possibility of combining the implant components according to individual requirements and the wide range of indications that can be treated with this system;
- Instrument trays developed and simplified with the close co-operation of surgeons and theatre nurses, so as to make the work of the surgical staff much easier.
