Featured Product #4 – LENNITE
LENNITE is an ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) ram extruded bar stock that is made in accordance with ASTM specification F648 and International Standard ISO 5834-1. LENNITE has superb impact and wear, as well as high chemical and radiation resistance. Due to its extremely low coefficient of friction, its inherent lubricity minimizes friction resulting in a smooth, noiseless operation. This versatile engineering plastic with its superior tribological properties makes it ideally suited as a bearing counterface in orthopedic joint replacement systems for shoulder, hip, knee, and other extremity joint replacement procedures.
