Product Description
Femoral component
The femoral component, which is
asymmetrical, is manufactured using a
CoCrMo alloy.
The femoral patellar groove is deeply
hollowed out and present a 6° oblique
patella tracking.
The joint mechanism is contained in a narrow
box (only 25mm) that keep an anterior bone
bridge and require minimum bone resection,
thereby reducing the risk of femoral condyle
fracture.
The 40mm rotation peg enables a stable
distraction up to 20 mm, thus providing
protection against dislocation and ensuring
smooth coupling characteristics of
the components.
The special joint mechanisms are designed
to enable a physiological roll-back of 9mm,
which is intended to improve the flexion
capacity of the joint. Furthermore, the
rotation peg enables physiological internal
and external rotation of 10° from 15° flexion.
The joint mechanism has been designed in
such a way, that all metal components
(rotation peg and transversal axis) are lined
with UHMWPE to absorb the stress forces.
The slender tapered femoral stems allows a
stable anchorage, even when the medullary
cavity is restricted.
The femoral component is available in sizes
2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.
Patellar component
The all-poly (UHMW-polyethylene) patellar
component has a symmetrical biconcave
surface for better tracking.
The patellar component are identical to those
in the TC-PLUS portfolio.
Please see the available sizes in the implant table (on page 44 ff).
