Ojonic: A Joint-Preserving Knee Spacer
A knee implant concept designed for advanced osteoarthritis.
Inspired by nature's design: Unlike rigid implants, the Ojonic system is intended to support compliant load transfer and physiological joint mechanics. The implant is designed to compensate for lost cartilage and reduced meniscal function. It is made from Articulage, a material inspired by the functional behaviour of natural cartilage.
Intended advantages
The system is being designed for a less invasive, joint-preserving and repeatable procedure. The aim is to support early, pain-less mobility following implantation. Clinical performance has not yet been established.
How it works
The implant is engineered to float freely within the knee joint. Its design concept aims to promote self-centering behaviour and more balanced load distribution. The key to this is the spacer's sophisticated, proprietary design. We've refined it over years of iteration. Bench and durability testing are ongoing.
