Produktbeskrivelse
BioBall® System
Merete brought the BioBall® system onto the market as a “modular joint prosthesis system” at the end of the 1990s. It has become the “standard” in hip athroplasty. The titanium BioBall® adapter allows intra-operative adjustment of intraoperative adjustment of offset, neck length, lateralisation/medialisation and antetorsion/retrotorsion with in situ stems.
BioBall® Adapter Standard
The head adapter system as 12/14 and 14/16 Standard variants.
Today, the modular BioBall® System is available in practically every certified endoprosthetic clinic in Germany. Over the past twenty years, it has established itself in endoprosthetic hip revision surgery, proving its worth around the world.
Merete’s BioBall® system allows surgeons to compensate misalignment between prosthesis stems and acetabular cups intraoperatively. When used in revision surgery, the system’s titanium adapters make it possible to use ceramic heads with in situ stems.
The BioBall® Adapter’s variable neck lengths and range of options in terms of both sliding pairs and head sizes allow intraoperative problem-solving, the advantages of which have been described in the literature many times over. The BioBall® Adapter can also be used to help improve patient gait and reduce luxation risk.
Moreover, the system represents a supplementary treatment option for primary operations, in particular for intraoperative correction of misalignments.
BioBall® Adapter Offset
The tried-and-tested head adapter system in 12/14 and 14/16 Offset variants
Today, the modular BioBall® system is available in practically certified endoprosthetic clinic in Germany. Over the past twenty years, it has established itself in arthroplastic hip revision surgery, proving its worth around the world.
Merete’s titanium adapter compensate misalignment between prosthesis stems and acetabular cups. Offset adapters allow medialisation or lateralisation as well as correction of retro- or antetorsion when correcting femoral neck length.
