Design Rationale


 
 
The CCI Evolution is a three component mobile bearing design for cementless application. The articulating surface is coated with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. TiN is a technical ceramic and forms a secure ionic bond with the CoCrMo metal of the CCI Evolution tibial and talar components.

The Calcium Phosphate on top of the Titanium Plasma Spray surface provides an optimal environment for osseointegration, allowing for reliable fixation.

Features of the CCI Evolution:
  • Minimal bone resection required
  • Stable cementless fixation
  • Superior wear characteristics (TiN ceramic coating)
  • TiN coating protects patients with nickel allergy
  • Excellent capability for osseous integration
  • Dual coating: Titanium Plasma Spray & Calcium Phosphate
  • A design suitable of use in both the right and left ankle (symmetric design)
  • A simple but adequate set of instruments
  • Talar first preparation technique for a well aligned ankle
