Orthopaedic Reconstruction and Trauma
We offer the widest range of orthopaedic reconstruction joint bearing services available with our joint replacement systems for knees, hips and shoulders and trauma products that help repair broken bones.
In joint reconstruction, hip and knee implants, the company’s growth has been driven by the introduction of a unique new material in orthopaedics: OXINIUM◊ Oxidised Zirconium. The company sells hips, knees and uni-compartmental knees made of this strong, hardwearing material.
We continually develop new materials and techniques to meet the growing demands of patients and hospitals for tougher, longer-lasting implants, and faster-to-heal trauma products. This makes them suitable for younger patients.
Smith & Nephew also work with surgeons to improve techniques and instruments to reduce the invasiveness and surgical time of joint replacements, resulting in faster healing and health care efficiencies.
Some of our key products include:
The trauma business offers internal and external fixation products to help repair broken bones. Our world-leading internal fixation systems enable surgeons to operate more quickly and less invasively. Our clinical therapy products are low frequency ultrasound devices to help accelerate bone healing and joint fluid therapy.
In trauma, our innovative nailing systems for broken bones enable the surgeon to operate more quickly and less invasively.
Our global sales team offers comprehensive support to surgeons and healthcare providers, backed by a full range of clinical education programmes. With a history of orthopaedic care that dates back to 1934, Smith & Nephew has become one of the most trusted companies in the industry.
