Key Benefits

Durable articulation

  • Optimal chemical composition, material processing and precision manufacturing result in lower wear.
  • Surface roughness is greatly reduced, which leads to a reduction in the rate of wear in comparison to cast chromium-cobalt alloys.
  • Optimised clearance provides enhanced lubrication and minimised wear.

Maximised ROM

A large diameter articulation offers:

  • Increased stability due to the increased jumping distance
    (X < Y)

Maximised ROM

  • A greater range of motion compared to a conventional  28 mm total hip replacement

greater range of motion

Improved primary stability

Unique combination of primary fixation features and pure press-fit

  • Hemispherical shape improves press-fit
  • Self cutting longitudinal fins (1.5mm) improve stability in sub-optimal bone

 

 Hemispherical shape improves press-fit

To avoid cutting into the bone at the entrance plane of the reamed acetabulum the fins are set back and do not preside over the envelope of the equator

Performance testing shows equal or statistically significant primary stability increase compared to clinically successful devices such as the Trilogy Cup (1)
