Business and Products

DePuy is a leader in every product category that they operate in, such as knee implants (PFC^TM Sigma – the biggest selling knee implant), hip and spine implants etc. The range of hip implants is the most versatile addressing various hip related complications across age groups. 


The knee implant portfolio has the widest range including the revolutionary ‘Preservation Uni^TM – Compartmental Knee’ which has recently been launched. This product is primarily for younger patients who may suffer from ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis leading to half of the knee getting damaged.



With this product, knee implants have come full circle since this product helps patients with partial knee damage rather than having to wait till the entire knee was damaged and then completely replaced. Here, the damaged part of the knee can get replaced as soon as the problem occurs making life much more comfortable for patients.



DePuy products have one of the longest follow- up timelines for the implants, which has helped cement their position as market leaders. The Gold Standard; Charnley^TM named after the person who developed it, Sir John Charnley, has a 40 year follow up timeline!

The TC 3^TM is the best and most versatile revision knee system and is preferred worldwide. 

The SROM^TM is so versatile that is capable of addressing each and every hip defect with 8500 different possible combinations!
