IonGuard is a proprietary approach for reducing wear in orthopedic and other articulating device implants. The process utilizes direct ion beam treatment to create a hard, low friction, and hydrophilic surface without changing the bulk properties of the device. IonGuard is applicable to a wide range of medical devices such as orthopedic prostheses, spinal implants, and dental products.
