Introducing a knee implant designed just for women.

Women get two-thirds of all knee replacements, but most implants are designed for men.  That's why the new gender-specific replacement knee is so exciting!  Rather than retrofit a man's knee implant, we start with one precisely contoured to a woman's narrower anatomy.  It moves and feels more like a natural knee.  The implant is less likely to overhang the bone and painfully press on surrounding tissue.  It also accommodates the unique angle between a woman's hip and knee.  The result is a less bulky feel and increased range of motion.
