Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The SP-CL Hip Stem and LCU Hip System is a modular orthopedic prosthesis designed for total hip arthroplasty. It includes a cementless hip stem (SP-CL) and a cemented/uncemented hip stem (LCU) with optional coatings, such as HX or PoroLink (microporous). The system features a straight stem with a tapered lateral shoulder and a rectangular cross-section, combining anatomical design principles with cementless or cemented fixation options. Both versions adhere to a harmonized concept for improved stability and integration with the femur.
This system is supplied as a modular orthopedic implant for surgical use in total hip replacement procedures. The SP-CL version is intended for cementless fixation, while the LCU version offers both cemented and uncemented options with surface coatings for enhanced osseointegration. The device is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K213770) and MDR compliance, with specifications categorized under 21 CFR 888.3353. It is not intended for MRI use and must be handled as a sterile, single-use implant in controlled surgical environments.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026
What types of fixation options are available with the SP-CL Hip Stem and LCU Hip System, and how do they differ?
The SP-CL Hip Stem is designed for cementless fixation, relying on direct bone integration for stability. In contrast, the LCU Hip Stem offers both cemented and uncemented options, allowing surgeons to choose based on patient-specific needs. The LCU version also includes optional coatings like HX or PoroLink to further enhance osseointegration when used without cement.
Are the stems in this system compatible with MRI procedures, and why or why not?
No, the SP-CL Hip Stem and LCU Hip System is explicitly not intended for MRI use. This is likely due to the metallic components and design, which could interfere with MRI imaging or generate heat, posing risks to the patient. Always verify imaging protocols with your radiology team before proceeding.
How is the SP-CL Hip Stem and LCU Hip System supplied, and what should I consider regarding sterility and reuse?
The system is supplied as a sterile, single-use orthopedic implant for surgical use only. It must be handled in a controlled environment to maintain sterility. Reuse is not recommended, as single-use implants are designed for one surgical procedure to ensure patient safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
What surface coatings are available for the LCU Hip Stem, and what purpose do they serve?
The LCU Hip Stem offers optional coatings, including HX and PoroLink (microporous). These coatings are designed to improve osseointegration—meaning they promote stronger, more stable bonding between the implant and bone—particularly when the stem is used in a cementless fixation scenario.
How do I identify the correct regulatory clearance for this device, and what does it mean for my purchase?
The SP-CL Hip Stem and LCU Hip System holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K213770) under the product code LZO and is also compliant with the EU MDR. The 510(k) clearance indicates it is deemed *substantially equivalent* to a legally marketed predicate device, while MDR compliance ensures it meets EU safety and performance standards. Always verify local regulatory requirements before purchasing or using.
