EasyHip - Model E-900 - Ceramic & CoCr Heads
for total hip arthroplasty are small ceramic balls that are placed onto the hip stem. Due to the conical design of the 12/14 taper, the heads sit firmly on the stem and require no additional fixation. EasyHip Ceramic Heads come in three diameters (28 mm, 32 mm and 36 mm) and four head neck lengths, ranging from -4 mm to +8 mm. Detailed correlation can be seen in table below.
EasyHip CoCr Heads
for total hip arthroplasty are small metal balls that are placed onto the hip stem. Due to the conical design of the 12/14, the heads sit firmly on the stem and require no additional fixation.
EasyHip CoCr Heads come in three diameters (28 mm, 32 mm and 36 mm) and head neck lengths ranging from -4 mm to +10.5 mm.
Surgical Technique
The taper of the stem is carefully cleaned and dried. This is particularly important with ceramic heads. Then the head is attached by hand with a rotational movement, applying axial pressure.
To finish, the acetabular head driver (E10.2.00.0148) is used to gently tap the prosthesis head into position.
EasyHip Prosthesis Heads with 12/14 taper can be combined with all EasyHip Stems with 12/14 taper.
Except stated otherwise. Please refer to the implant specific instructions for use.
Note:
Instruments that are required for implanting EasyHip Prosthesis Heads are part of the EasyHip hip systems instrument sets and are listed in the respective catalogues.
