Product Overview
- The Prime acetabular cup system is the next step in
the evolution of the successful Dynasty® acetabular
cup system. The system is optimized for a highly
cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene bearing surface, eliminating the
compromises associated with modularity to
accommodate alternative bearing surfaces. By
focusing on a singular bearing surface, the shell has
also been optimized for modern fixation surfaces.
Designed with simple, versatile instrumentation, the
system can be used with a variety of surgical
approaches.
Design features
BioFoam® cancellous titanium:
- Provides immediate initial fixation and acts as an
osteoconductive matrix to promote biological
fixation
Optimized Screw hole design:
- Position of the screw holes creates divergent fixation,
while the geometry of the hole allows for 18° of
screw angulation (9° off axis) without interference
with liner insertion
Robust locking mechanism:
- Working in conjunction with low-profile, self
positioning anti-rotation tabs, this feature maximizes
push-out strength while allowing for easy liner
insertion and multiple liner configuration options
Optimized head to shell ratio:
- Offers increased jump distance for dislocation
without any compromise to liner thickness, which
promotes joint stability
Minimized shell thickness:
- Decreases stiffness of the implant, discourages
stress-shielding, and allows for optimized liner
thickness
Square impaction dimple:
- Provides rotational stability and control to simplify
implantation
Product options:
- Shell sizes: 46 – 68mm (2mm increments)
- Head options: Metal (CoCr) and Ceramic (BCH® and
BIOLOX® Delta)
- Liner diameters: 22, 28, 32, 36, 40, and 44mm
- Liner types: Standard, Lipped, Lateralized Face-
Changing
- Liner material: A-Class® Highly Cross-Linked
Polyethylene and E-Class™ Vitamin E Blended Highly
Cross-Linked Polyethylene
