You have to address free radicals. Some companies remelt, biomet uses Antioxidants, and Stryker sequentially anneals. Ask an X3 user, if they believe its better not to remelt Poly why don't they use E Poly. Everything out there is showing E Poly being supperior to X3. Remelted Poly has been researched enough that a surgeon should know where he stands with it. If he wants to take a step away from that to try something without long term data why not use E poly which is a better Poly than X3 from almost everything out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
