Femoral Heads BEST QUALITY MADE IN GERMANY FEMORAL HEADS Various materials are available When used with modular endoprosthetic hip systems, femoral heads act as the articulation partner between the hip stem and the cup component. Polyethylene components are used as a gliding partner for metal femoral heads. They can also be used with PE inlays for cementless outer cups or with cemented polyethylene cups. All femoral heads are detachable and can be connected with the stem by means of a friction-lock system using a 12/14 cone. Several sizes with varying diameters and neck lengths are available. This enables individual adjustments of the implant system to the patient’s anatomical conditions. Furthermore, they can be used for bipolar heads with polyethylene inserts. Ceramic femoral heads can, in addition, articulate with ceramic inserts. Grünauer Fenn 3 | D-14712 Rathenow | Fon: +49 (0) 3385 5420 0 | E-Mail: [email protected] | www.o
