LongFit Cup

Cemented acetabular fixation is an extremely successful procedure with better clinical results compared to non-cemented options.  It remains a durable, reproducible and cost effective technique.

The Vadin cemented cup is made of low wear ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, sterilized by gamma irradiation.

The LongFit cemented All-Poly cup is offered in a wide range of internal and external diameters in order to cover a broad scope of indications. It is available with an outer diameter in 2mm increments. All sizes feature the minimum wall thickness of 6mm required by ISO standards.

The outer geometry of the cup is hemispherical allowing 2 to 5mm depth of cement penetration which is believed to be the optimal mantle thickness. The uniform design prevents the generation of thin cement mantle layers and interruptions around the cup which are cause of cement fractures and polyethylene wear.

The cup is available in four different types:

• Standard

• Flat profile

• Dysplasia 10 degrees

• Snap-Fit

To ensure radiographic visibility all implants are equipped with a metal ring (manufactured from Stainless Steel-ISO 5832-1). The dysplasia version has an added notch and x-ray pin at its uppermost point. The snap-fit cup is offered for the prevention of hip dislocation. Its internal contour has been designed so that the connection with the push-on head can be released only with considerable force.

Product Features

• Especially highly machined internal surface for low friction between the head and the polyethylene.

• Modern design instrumentation.

• Proved manufacturing process with excellent long-term results.
