ACORN TRASER DUAL MOBILITY Acetabular Cup

ACORN TRASER DUAL MOBILITY Acetabular Cup

Category: Permedica Orthopedics

INTENDED PURPOSE:

ACORN TRASER® dual mobility cup is an acetabular component utilized in Total Hip Replacement procedures in combination with it’s dedicate articular liner, a femoral ball-head and a femoral stem. It is indicated in cases of coxarthrosis, both for primary and/or revisions. Due to it’s characteristics, the dual mobility cup is pasrticularly indicated in those cases with low muscle tone where, by using traditional cups, dislocation phenomena could occur. Anchoring of the device is achieved by primary press-fit insertion.


MATERIALS:

            CUP: Titanium Aluminium Vanadium Ti6Al4V Alloy - ISO5832/3 - ASTM F 2924

            INSERT: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene without Calcium Stearate - ISO5834/1/2. Also available in VITAL-E® version, UHMWPE added withVitamin-E (Alpha Tocopherol) anti-oxydant and VITAL-XE® (cross-linked).


STERILIZATION:

            Method: Ethylene Oxyde (EtO) or irradiation (Beta/Gamma rays - minimum dose 25 kGy) or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2).

            Validity: 5 years (Beta sterilized products) - 10 years (EtO/Gamma/VH2O2 sterilized products).

Dual Mobility Cup


The ACORN TRASER® Cup is one of a kind. Made entirely of titanium alloy by 3D printing, it combines two innovative technologies developed by Permedica: TRASER® and BIOLOY®.


14 Implant sizes

The TRASER® surface with randomized trabecular structure in contact with the bone ensures excellent primary press-fit anchoring and promotes osseointegration . 


The BIOLOY® TiNbN coating on the inner surface of the cup guarantees an optimal tribology for coupling with the joint insert. The titanium alloy composition makes the ACORN TRASER® cup a hypoallergenic solution.


The concept of dual mobility involves the use of a metal shell within which articulates a mobile insert, of a diameter perfectly compatible, where the femoral ball head articulates as well. This system allows the use of large diameter heads, thereby permitting a wide Range Of Movement and increasing joint stability. First introduced in the ‘70s by Prof. Bousquet, this type of implant has demonstrated in clinical use high joint stability even in the most critical cases.



The cup has an hemispherical geometry with polar deflection and circumferential radial grooves to guarantee optimal press-fit in the equatorial region.









The articular inserts available for Ø 22mm and 28mm ball heads are designed to perfectly match the inner socket of each single size of the cup, thus ensuring maximum joint stability.

They are manufactured with the latest generation Ultra High Molecular Weight PE (GUR1020) without Calcium Stearate, also in VITAL-E® and VITAL-XE® option enriched with Vitamin E antioxidant.
