Comparing the Science of Gender Knee Implants

Do you have all of the facts?

When Zimmer launched Minimally Invasive Solutions™ (MIS ™) Technology, the competition challenged the concept. Similarly, our competitors are now challenging the concept of knee implants that are designed only for women.

Women's knees require more accommodation than just smaller sizes–contrary to our competitors' claims to surgeons. Sizes are based on a combined average of the geometries of both men and women. In the end, that simply means compromise, and that's why Zimmer designed a knee implant system specifically for women.

Many other companies are giving responses that make them appear to also have a knee implant designed for women. However, based on their explanations, it may be a long time before they actually develop a product that is anything like the Zimmer Gender Solutions™ NexGen ® High-Flex Implants.

Zimmer believes no other competitive knee systems address the three main differences between male and female knee anatomy. Please review the following differences to separate science fact from science fiction.

Clearly, with Zimmer Gender Solutions™ Implants, you have an unprecedented and unique array of tools to address the distinctly different characteristics of a woman's and a man's knee.
