HIP RESURFACING IMPLANT MAKERS

•  Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics is a global provider of leading-edge joint replacement systems for knees, hips and shoulders; trauma products to help repair broken bones and a range of other medical devices to help alleviate pain in joints and promote healing.

•  Wright Medical Technology makes CONSERVE family of Hip Products. Wright's goal in designing the CONSERVE Family of Implants, which work to provide a bone conserving, minimally invasive approach to hip resurfacing and hip replacement.

•  Corin Group is invloved in development, manufacture and distribution of a wide range of reconstructive orthopaedic devices. Products include hip resurfacing, total hip replacement, unicondylar knee replacement, mobile bearing total knee replacement, ankle replacement, shoulder replacement, ligament reconstruction and augmentation, spinal reconstruction, trauma products, and theatre disposables. Latest generation surgical instruments, together with minimally invasive systems and surgical navigation support this wide range of orthopaedic implants.

•  Optimom Large Diameter Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Replacement System
A new approach to stemmed total hip arthroplasty for patients in whom the condition of the femoral head or neck does not allow resurfacing, Corin has developed Optimom, a metal-on-metal stemmed large diameter total hip replacement. Optimom combines the benefits of large diameter metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty with those of a stemmed femoral prosthesis that does not depend on the bone quality of the femoral neck.

•  Johnson and Johnson's DEPUY ASR Articular Surface Replacement brings together advanced hip bearing technology with a bone and soft tissue preserving surgical approach. Its rationale is to provide surgeons with an advanced resurfacing hip system with dramatically lower wear properties which can be introduced through a conventional or minimal incision. Both approaches may be used with Intelligent Surgery giving a new level of precision. For patients it's the more natural bone conserving solution for early intervention.

•  Biomet has ReCap Femoral Resurfacing Head, which is a metal (cobalt chromium) cap that resurfaces the head of the femur. This conservative procedure makes the technique less invasive than traditional hip replacement surgery. The ReCap Head may require a smaller incision and less bone removal, which can allow you to recover more quickly and with less pain. The implant can also help prolong or avoid the need for future total hip replacement. However, if you should need total hip replacement in the future, the ReCap Head allows your surgeon the ability to perform the procedure with a less-invasive approach.

•   Zimmer UK's Durom - Hip Resurfacing. Precision Swiss manufacturing combined with advanced design based on years of clinical experience have resulted in the Durom Hip Resurfacing which represents a substantial step forward in the field of hip resurfacing. The principle design features are based around optimising the durability of both the bearing and the component fixation, combined with providing excellent range of motion.

•  Finsbury's ADEPT Resurfacing Hip. Finsbury Orthopaedics has set the standards in metal-on-metal design and manufacturing technology since the early 1990s. The ADEPT Hip System is the accumulation of our experience and includes both resurfacing and total hip options.
