Ceramic Femoral Heads

Taper

12/14 (top angle 5°42'30") ELEC® plus components are manufactured from ultrapure raw materials (ZTA Zirconia-Toughened Alumina- Ceramic) that ensure very low wear levels thanks to high corrosion resistance, material biocompatibility, degree of hardness, dimensional stability of the components and to excellent wetting and low roughness of surfaces.

Femoral implants for hip arthroplasty made from the high- performance ceramic material ELEC® plus without addition of any colouring agent (e.g. Chormium) have been successfully employed in clinical practice for over 10 years. As a low-wear alternative to metal femoral heads in ceramic-on-polyethylene joint coupling, ELEC® plus femoral heads can be combined with all conventional stem materials.
