A metallic acetabular liner is the inner component of a two-piece hip replacement system, designed to fit inside the acetabular shell. It provides the bearing surface that allows the femoral head (the ball part of the hip joint) to move smoothly within the hip prosthesis, enabling mobility and reducing pain in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
These devices are typically regulated as implants, often requiring premarket approval or clearance depending on jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied sterile and intended for surgical use in orthopedic procedures, with materials like cobalt-chrome being standard for durability and biocompatibility.
