Item Biax™ Total Wrist System
Features 
  • Simulates the two main ways the normal wrist moves: up and down and side to side.
  • Simulates the ways in which the bones of the wrist come together.
  • The articulating surfaces are elongated for greater range of motion.
  • Features that Reduce the Risk of Loosening
  • The trapezoidal fixation stem is part of what allows the BIAX to recreate some of the wrist's natural rotation. It also increases the strength of the implant's connection to the bone, reducing the risk of loosening.
  • The bases of the component stems are covered with a unique, rough coating called Porocoat® Porous Coating that increases the surface area for cement fixation holding it securely in place.
    • Description Introduced in 1982, the BIAX Total Wrist System was the first wrist implant to simulate the complex motion of the normal wrist. Since then it has become the leading wrist implant in the United States.

    During total wrist replacement surgery, doctors remove scar tissue and destroyed cartilage and insert a joint replacement implant in place of the damaged wrist. Doctors stabilize the implant by cementing its stems inside the bones with bone cement.
