MicroPort Orthopedics has announced the availability of its Profemur Gladiator HA Collared Stem and Profemur Gladiator Cemented Collared Stem. Combined with its current Profemur Gladiator Plasma Stem, the Gladiator Hip Stem System is now complete, offering a wide range of indications in the treatment of both high demand total hip arthroplasties and low demand fracture patients.
Designed for primary hip replacement surgery, the Profemur Gladiator Hip Stems all offer a triple wedge tapered design with distinct geometry. The hip stem is designed with a reduced lateral shoulder convenient for tissue-sparing techniques, making it suited to be used with MicroPort’s innovation through the Anterior Path surgical approach. The Profemur line of Hip Stems gives surgeons the versatility to address their patients’ needs with one set of instruments in this truly comprehensive system.
“By allowing surgeons to cater a femoral hip system to their preferred techniques, we have created a customizable hip system that is Simply Versatile in its ability to exceed the needs of each surgeon, designed to help our surgeons more effectively treat patients,” said Benny Hagag, president of MicroPort Orthopedics. “This customization to tissue-sparing techniques allows for streamlined preoperative planning, excellent patient outcomes1,2, and a quicker recovery3. The proof is in our patients.”
