X3 is a material advancement in bearing technology. As a pioneer in wear-performance technologies, Stryker Orthopaedics has been dedicated to offering bearing surface improvements. Building upon the clinical success of Duration and Crossfire Polyethylene, Stryker developed a new annealing process with three sequential irradiation/annealing steps to create the X3 technology.
