Bipolar femoral head outer component, total arthroplasty

A bipolar femoral head outer component is a type of implant used in total hip arthroplasty, designed to work with the acetabular liner and a femoral head prosthesis. It allows for free rotation of the head and is typically made of polyethylene. This component is a crucial part of the hip replacement system, enabling smooth movement and reducing friction. It is a one-piece device that plays a key role in the overall functioning of the artificial hip joint.

When browsing this category, it's essential to understand that these devices are subject to regulatory oversight, and their design and materials are critical to their safe and effective use. The devices in this category are designed for implantation and are intended to work in conjunction with other components of the hip replacement system. They are typically supplied as a single unit, and their performance is dependent on their interaction with other parts of the artificial joint.
