ArtiFlex Stem

The ArtiFlex hip stem is a  tapered straight press-fit prosthesis manufactured from
Titanium alloy. Its design relies on the “Spotorno Philosophy” which has excellent
long term clinical results. The implant achieves initial stability by wedging its proximal fluted part into a retained bed of femoral trabecular and cortical bone. Due to the rectangular cross section design, the stem provides excellent rotational stability. The surface of the implant is treated with corundum blasting to create a surface roughness enabling bone on-growth of newly formed osseous tissue for biological fixation and secondary stabilization.

Product Characteristics

  • Manufactured from Titanium Aluminium Niobium alloy (Ti6Al7Nb) according to ISO 5832-11.
  • Available in 13 different perfectly synchronized sizes at a CCD angle of 135 degrees
  • Universal 12/14 taper for use with both metal and ceramic femoral heads
  • An alternative version is available with a bioactive calcium phosphate coating BONIT®
  • The prosthesis is a three dimensional taper wedge in all planes.
  • The wedges at the proximal part of the implant contribute to the tapered shape of the implant and also provide a larger surface area of contact between metal and cancellous bone.

 

ArtiFlex HA

The HA version of the stem has the proximal part coated with an electrochemically
deposited thin CaP BONIT  coating, resulting in accelerated bone apposition and biological fixation of the implant.
