Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Nuffield Total Knee System is a total knee prosthesis classified as a Total Knee Prosthesis (FDA Product Code: JWH). It comprises cobalt-chrome alloy femoral, tibial, and patellar components engineered for primary or revision knee arthroplasty. The system incorporates a plasma-sprayed coating to enhance surface roughness, improving mechanical fixation with PMMA bone cement. Its design aims to restore joint function and stability in patients with degenerative or traumatic knee damage.
The device is supplied as a modular system for surgical use in orthopedic settings, requiring aseptic preparation and sterile handling. Components are intended for single-use and are not designed for reuse. No MRI safety information is specified, and the system is cleared under FDA 510(k) K980545 as substantially equivalent to a predecessor device. Storage and handling must comply with orthopedic implant protocols to maintain sterility and integrity.
