Gender Solutions® Natural-Knee® Flex

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Zimmer Gender Solutions Natural-Knee Flex System is designed to accommodate anatomical differences between men and women, offering two distinct implant shapes. This system integrates industry-leading Gender Solutions technology with the proven Natural-Knee System to enhance total knee arthroplasty outcomes.

Specifications and Features
The system supports high-flexion capability up to 155 degrees and includes delamination-resistant Prolong Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene surfaces. It features an asymmetric tibial component, CSTi porous coating, and an Ultracongruent articular surface, providing a comprehensive solution for both male and female patients.

Design and Anatomical Considerations
Zimmer's research identified two distinct anatomical populations, leading to the development of implants that differ mediolaterally to improve fit and reduce intraoperative adjustments. The system also addresses differences in anterior condyles and patellar tracks, which are crucial for avoiding overstuffing and overhang that can increase pain.

Technological Innovations
The system includes an asymmetric baseplate design, a spiked keel for bone-sparing fixation, and a CSTi porous coating that mimics human cancellous bone for enhanced fixation. The Ultracongruent tibial articular surface allows for easy intraoperative conversion and minimizes bone loss.

Clinical Performance and Testing
Prolong Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene demonstrates significant wear reduction and delamination resistance compared to conventional polyethylene. Laboratory tests show that Prolong samples exhibit no delamination up to 8 million cycles, highlighting its durability.

Conclusion
The Zimmer Gender Solutions Natural-Knee Flex System offers advanced technologies tailored for today's demanding patients, ensuring a high degree of flexibility and performance for active lifestyles.
