The Klassic® Knee System is a modernized universal design that offers seven sizes of femurs, six sizes of tibial inserts and baseplates, and five sizes of patellae to accommodate a variety of patient anatomy. In the standard configuration, the system requires a maximum of three trays of instruments to streamline the surgical technique, reduce sterilization costs, and increase efficiency in the operating room.

The Klassic® Knee System is a modern universal design that offers an Evolution of Stability® to restore natural kinematics that will accommodate a variety of patient anatomy.14 A holistically designed system allows a spectrum of stability, from cruciate retaining through the maximally stabilized PS-Max® Insert, within one implant system, and within one workflow. Our proprietary Klassic ONE® instrumentation allows you to perform up to 90% of your surgeries with just one tray (100% with two trays).
AURUM TECHNOLOGY®
Aurum uses a patented ion beam enhanced deposition (IBED) process to create a well-structured, ceramicized surface layer that is interdigitated with the substrate while also preserving the material and geometric properties of the implant. Aurum®'s ion process ballistically bonds a five-micron (5μm) thick titanium nitride coating to a titanium substrate for strength, hardness, and adhesion.11
E-LINK® VITAMIN E STABILIZED POLYETHYLENE
E-Link® Poly is a Vitamin E stabilized highly cross-linked ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Vitamin E is blended into the GUR 1020 UHMWPE in powder form, compression molded, and cross linked by Gamma radiation to 10 MRads. E-Link® utilizes Vitamin E to quench free radicals generated from the cross-linking process, yielding oxidative stability.
POROUS COATINGS
The Klassic® Porous Knee System features three-dimensional porous coatings for biological fixation, with a mean porosity of 60% for demonstrated bony ingrowth. The Klassic® Porous Femur offers Cobalt 3D®, an ultra-porous coating comprised of crushed CoCr fragments. The Klassic® Porous Tibia offers Ti-Coat®, an ultra-porous commercially pure titanium coating comprised of asymmetrical grains.
KLASSIC ONE® SYSTEM
The Klassic ONE® Instrumentation for the Klassic® Knee System offers an inherent efficiency that allows a single tray of instruments to support up to 90% of cases with no patient-specific customization, templating, additional imaging, or disposables.
An auxiliary tray includes micro/macro sizing to allow 100% of primary cases to be performed with two trays. Reducing the number of trays required for each surgery reduces OR time and sterilization costs, may help reduce the risk of infection and optimizes efficiency and ergonomics.15 Trays may be customized to surgeon workflow preferences; once the workflow is set, the trays support cases without the need for individual patient customization. All instrument trays meet AORN standards for weight and are fully validated for cleaning and sterilization.
