GSK PRIME FLEX Mobile

GSK PRIME FLEX Mobile

Category: Permedica Orthopedics

INTENDED PURPOSE:

GKS PRIME FLEX Mobile is a three-compartimental knee prosthesis to be used in Total Knee Replacement procedures. Indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasties in cases of advanced osteo-cartilagineous degeneration of the knee joint mainly due to arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic factors, and outcomes of corrective osteotomies. Anchorage of the device to the bone may be cementless or cemented, depending upon the selected version.


MATERIALS:

                FEMORAL COMPONENT/TIBIA: Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum alloy - ISO5832/4;

                BIOLOY® TIBIA / EXTENSIONS: Titanium Aluminium Vanadium alloy - ISO5832/3;

                JOINT LINER / PATELLA: UHMW PolyEthylene without Calcium Stearate - ISO5834/1/2; Also available in VITAL-E® option, added with Vitamin E.


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).


FEMORAL COMPONENT


10 Femoral sizes


The femoral component is common for both the mobile and fix bearing options of the GKS PRIME FLEX range and it’s design was studied to optimize prosthesis performance during flexion: the posterior condyle thickness and curvature range allows ample contact area even at elevated flexion.

Manufactured in Cobalt-Chrome alloy, available in both cemented and cementless version and also with the BIOLOY® ultrahard finishing surface.



HeXPore


The double HaX-Pore® bio-active coating on the bone contact surface of the cementless components promotes osseointagration favouring biological fixation.








10 Thicknesses


The UC rotating joint liner is designed for an ultra congruent contact with the femoral component thus providing high stability even in the absence of the PCL.


Manufactured with Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is also available in VITAL-E® version, added with antioxidizing Vitamin E.





 

7 Implant size


Equipped with a flanged keel for metaphyseal anchorage which opposes the anterior-posterior tilting movement and torque forces.

Made of CrCoMo or Titanium alloy with ultrahard BIOLOY® surface coating, is available in both cemented and cementless version with HaX-Pore® coating.
