Trabecular Metal Material is made of elemental tantalum (atomic number 73),ÌýaÌýchemically stable and biologically inert metal used in orthopedic implants.6 This makes it highly biocompatible.7ÌýTantalumÌýis the ideal material for this structure, because it has high fatigue strength and a compressive modulus that allows it to bend before breaking.3

System Features
Ìý
Structure
- Made from commercially pure elemental tantalum and designed to withstand physiologic loads.1
100% open engineered and interconnected pore structure to supportÌýbiological fixationÌýand vascularization.1,2
- Up to 80% porosity.1
Function
Low modulus of elasticity similar to cancellous bone for more normal physiological loading which has the potential to reduce stress shielding when used in aÌýmonoblockÌýor monolithic application.3
High coefficient of friction vs. cancellous bone for stable initial fixation.3
Physiology
- Chemically stable and biocompatible material which creates little adverse biological response.6
