A bipolar femoral head outer component is a key part of hemiarthroplasty, used to replace a damaged femoral head while preserving the natural acetabulum. It features a rotating inner surface to reduce friction between the implant and the remaining bone, improving joint mobility and reducing wear over time.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, often requiring clinical validation for safety and performance. They are commonly supplied as sterile, single-use implants, though some may be reusable depending on manufacturer specifications and local regulations.
