Cementless acetabular prosthesis EpiCup®

The EpiCup® design consists of a flattening of the socket pole and a Press-Fit thickness of 1.3 mm to 2.0 mm (depending on cup diameter) around the cup equator. The OsteoNest™ structure on the outside of the acetabulum has an enlarged surface to ensure additional bone contact and thus anchor in the acetabulum more effectively. EpiCup® acetabular cups are combined with Standard or High Wall XPE inlays, which are anchored into the cup using a snap-in mechanism. Several anti-rotation mechanisms on the outer edge of both inlay types ensure rotational stability. Properties / technical data Primary cup (press-fit) for primary stability OsteoNest™ structure with extra-deep profile suitable for osseointegration Available XPE (UHMWPE DIN ISO 5834–2) inlay variants: Standard and High Wall Cup material: Pure titanium (DIN EN ISO 5832-2) Indications Advanced wear of the hip joint due to degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatic diseases, including advanced avascular necrosis of the femoral head, which cannot be treated using conservative or joint-preserving surgical procedures Revisions of previous surgeries (rejection of total hip endoprosthesis, hemiarthroplasty or osteosynthetic treatment of a fracture near the femoral head and osteotomies near the hip joint)
