The UCP™ Stem is designed with clinically proven philosophies so as to reproduce the excellent outcomes seen with proven cemented stem systems including: A cement friendly profile:
A mirror-polished surface with a tri-tapered design increases torsional stability whilst reducing shear stress on the cement
CoCrMo material provides strong fatigue strength
Facilitates restoration of joint biomechanics and stability:
A collarless design with various insertion depth options allow surgeon to balance leg length with ease.
Offset variants and stem length options allow the surgeon to deal with a wide variety of clinical challenges
The high offset UCP™ Stem option restores normal ligamentous laxity by shifting the stem neck laterally; without having any influence on leg length
Ease of use
The UCP™ Stem’s 12/14 Morse taper is compatible with CoCrMo metal heads and BIOLOX delta ceramic heads accommodating surgeon preferences
The system also incorporates long revision stem options up to 230 mm for proximal bone loss cases[1].
