The JOURNEY^◊ Knee is made of OXINIUM^◊ Oxidized Zirconium, only available from Smith & Nephew. This revolutionary material may reduce wear, potentially resulting in a longer lasting knee replacement. OXINIUM^◊ Oxidized Zirconium is superior to traditional materials, such as cobalt chrome, because of its hardness, smoothness and resistance to scratching and abrasion.

Smith & Nephew

In the past, many surgeons recommended delaying the replacement surgery as long as possible. With the anticipated greater longevity of OXINIUM^◊ Oxidized Zirconium, surgeons can feel confident recommending the JOURNEY^◊ Knee for younger, more active patients.

The thighbone portion of the JOURNEY^◊ Knee weighs less than traditional knee replacements. For example, compared to a cobalt chrome knee of similar size, the JOURNEY^◊ Knee’s thighbone part weighs 22% less.

Another advantage of OXINIUM^◊ Oxidized Zirconium is that it is very biocompatible. While other metals can cause reactions in metal-sensitive patients, reactions to OXINIUM^◊ Oxidized Zirconium are extremely rare.
