A patient at the George Provincial Hospital in Western Cape South Africa received the implant that uses an Infinia silicon nitride ceramic femoral head as part of the total implant.

We have developed two designs of femoral heads for use in our total hip replacement product candidates...The second design is a femoral head that is made from our solid MC2 silicon nitride and we are collaborating with Orthopaedic Synergy, Inc. to develop a total hip replacement product candidate using this design. These femoral heads are expected to articulate against a cross-linked polyethylene liner, fixed into a metal acetabular cup.

All instances of OMNIlife hips look like they're using a plastic liner. no COC no MOM.

I have no idea where the SiNi COC comes in. In my mind you're BTFOing an advantage to SiNi adding a plastic liner. SiNi COC seems superior. lower wear particulate production of absorbable wear particulate VS. tons of plastic crap. The idea that SiNi reduces the wear particulate by oxygen scavenging of plastic is a tiny advantage compared to the big advantage of a SiNi COC.
