The Pinnacle™ Acetabular Cup System is a cementless acetabular cup system that is designed so your surgeon can choose which bearing surface (liner) he feels will best meet your hip replacement surgical needs.

 

Liners for use with the Pinnacle™ Cup include:
• AltrX™ Altra-Link™ Polyethylene, which is made of extremely strong plastic to resist wear
• Ultamet™ XL Large Diameter Metal, which is made of a special surgical grade metal. These liners are designed to improve the hip's range of motion and stability while resisting wear.

 

The outer shell of the Pinnacle™ acetabular cup is covered with a 3-dimensional porous coating. This coating provides a surface for the patient's tissue to attach creating a strong bond. This process is called biological fixation, meaning it holds the cup in place, instead of relying on bone cement.

Healthbase's Dental Tourism provides a wide range of dental procedures through its partner dental offices and hospitals network in Mexico, Panama, Thailand, Singapore and India.
Over two hundred medical, dental and cosmetic procedures are available in various categories: Orthopedic procedures such as hip replacement, Birmingham hip resurfacing, artificial knee replacement, knee surgery, cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, face lift, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), liposuction, dental procedures such as bridges, implants, crowns, and procedures in categories such as cardiac, vascular, spinal, obesity, eye, LASIK, urology, general surgery, plastic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, weight-loss surgery, wellness and much more. The savings are up to 80% from typical USA prices.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
