As the fourth generation of MicroPort® Orthopedics' ceramic products, Femoral Head Biolox Delta Ceramic and Rim-Lock Biolox Delta Ceramic Liner are built on the basis of the third generation Forte Ceramic products with zirconium added to make the material stronger and cracking resistant.

The Biolox ceramic material used in Femoral Head Biolox Delta Ceramic and Rim-Lock Biolox Delta Ceramic Liner has been used to make hip reconstruction products for over 40 years. The material features excellent biocompatibility and scratch resistance to bone cement particles. With its outstanding wettability, it can form effective liquid film lubrication to reduce friction and wear. Up to date, more than 10 million joint prostheses made of Biolox ceramic material have been implanted worldwide.
