e+ Polyethylene
2 Formulas, 1 Solution
DJO Surgical is proud to offer its e+ vitamin E blended polyethylene across all product lines. Two highly specialized formulas have been developed: a moderately-cross linked formula for sliding and gliding kinematics and a highly-cross linked formula for ball and socket type kinematics.
