A modular coated femoral stem prosthesis is a surgical implant used in total hip replacement to replace the upper part of the femur. The coating—often porous or containing substances like hydroxyapatite—helps secure the implant by encouraging bone to grow into it, improving long-term stability and reducing loosening risks.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They may require sterilization for surgical use and are often supplied as part of a larger hip arthroplasty system, including modular components and fixation hardware. Always check local regulations for specific requirements.
