Acetabulum prosthesis trial devices are temporary, reusable components used during hip replacement surgery to help surgeons determine the correct size and positioning of the final acetabular implant. These prefabricated tools, often made of metal or polymer, mimic the shape of permanent acetabular cups, cages, or augments, allowing for precise trial fits before permanent fixation.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments or implants, requiring sterilization before use. They are supplied in graduated sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and are designed for intraoperative testing only—never for permanent implantation.
