3. WIDE RANGING GAP CORRECTION
Multiple insert thicknesses to support up to 49mm of tibiofemoral gap correction when augments are used

4. ROBUST LOCKING MECHANISMS
Dovetail and posterior captures facilitate poly insertion and securely lock insert in place. Reinforcement Pin capture, for use in 22 and 25mm inserts, provides increased static and fatigue strength in thicker inserts3

5. VERSATILE, ASYMMETRIC BASEPLATE DESIGN
Maximizes cortical coverage and prevents overhang for long-term fixation2 and can be used as a primary baseplate with the use of a stem plug, or with a stem and/or augments when indicated
