Stryker Biolox Ceramic Head
No code available 3191 event date 04 20 2011.
Stryker biolox ceramic head. Depending on ball head size biolox deltaheads show a much higher burst strength that results in reduced fracture rate. Biolox delta the next generation of ceramics is now available for articulation with connexion gxl our low wear fracture tough polyethylene. Strontia is included for the formation of platelets inside the matrix which support the toughness of the material. The biolox delta option ceramic head features a titanium neck sleeve designed to allow surgeons to utilize a ceramic head in either primary or revision hip arthroplasties.
As published for example in 2001 the composition of biolox delta includes sro y 2 o 3 and cr 2 o 3. We offer market leading hip replacement implants for total hip arthroplasty including our primary and revision portfolios designed to offer you a wide variety of implants instrumentation and muscle sparing surgical approach options. The stryker rejuvenate line extended the combined head neck length options for the rejuvenate and was intended for use with any currently available howmedica osteonics acetabular components v40 femoral heads cocr c taper alumina heads ceramic when used with the v40 c taper adaptor and the biolox delta ceramic universal taper heads and sleeves. Biolox delta is a zirconia toughened alumina ceramic zta for biomedical applications.
Below you will find an overview of the available sizes and many combination possibilities. Science behind the material. 1 4 this material also provides a new option for using a ceramic femoral head in a revision scenario with the biolox option. Accolade ii s morphometric wedge is designed to address modern demands with novel technology by evolving conventional tapered wedge femoral stem design with size specific medial curvature to more closely fit a broad range of bone sizes and shapes of today s patient population.
Trident alumina ceramic inserts. Stryker biolox delta ceramic v40 femoral head. Device problems material erosion 1214. The trident alumina ceramic inserts must be used with stryker orthopaedic alumina heads.
Device dislodged or dislocated 2923 patient problems hematoma 1884. Biolox forte and biolox delta ball heads and cup inserts can be combined with ceramic components from the biolox family of products as well as with inserts made from conventional and highly cross linked polyethylene. Model number 28 mm. For 28 mm ball heads which generally have the lowest burst strength there is a burst strength increase from 54 to 80 for biolox delta.
Event type malfunction event description. Rotational stability between the components can be achieved when the shell s anti rotational barbs interlock with the insert scallops.
