Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Osteonics Extended Femoral Bearing Head used for?
This device is designed specifically for hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement surgery). Its extended neck offsets (+12.5mm and +15mm) help restore ligamentous balance, improving joint stability and alignment during articulation. The modular spherical bearing head ensures compatibility with various femoral stem configurations, making it suitable for patients requiring customised hip replacements.
How is the Osteonics Extended Femoral Bearing Head supplied, and is it reusable?
The device is supplied sterile and intended for single-use only. This ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination and maintains the device’s performance standards. Single-use also aligns with clinical best practices for orthopedic implants to minimise infection risks.
What sizes and configurations are available for this femoral bearing head?
The device comes in four diameters: 22mm, 26mm, 28mm, and 32mm. It interfaces mechanically with compatible Osteonics femoral stems using either Morse or C-Taper configurations, allowing for flexibility in surgical planning based on patient anatomy and clinical needs.
Can this device be used in MRI environments?
Yes, the Osteonics Extended Femoral Bearing Head is designed to be MRI-compatible. This means it can be safely used in patients who may require MRI imaging post-surgery, provided the device’s specifications and manufacturer guidelines are followed. Always verify compatibility with your MRI facility’s protocols.
How should the device be stored before use?
The device should be stored in its original sterile packaging until ready for use. Ensure the packaging remains unopened and undamaged to preserve sterility. Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as per standard orthopedic implant handling procedures.
