Cormet
Advanced Hip Resurfacing System
Activity
Today’s younger patients demand more from their surgery – a long-lasting implant and a return to previous levels of activity. Cormet offers the choice of both cementless and cemented femoral components with optimised geometry, allowing minimal bone removal. The stable low-wear bearing forms an enduring bone-conserving implant, facilitating patient expectations of a return to an active lifestyle.
History
From the pioneers of modern day hip resurfacing, the Cormet is founded on over 20 years’ expertise in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing. Based on an early vision in the late 1980s, the Cormet advanced hip resurfacing system was launched in 1997 and today offers surgeons a wide range of implants, including the only proven cementless head, to treat the young, active patient.
Technology
Incorporating advanced bearing technology, the Cormet hip resurfacing system demonstrates:
- Optimised design specifications – based on the effects of sphericity, bearing clearances, metallurgy, adverse gait and acetabular inclination – to optimise clinical performance.
- Precision-machined components are designed to ensure sphericity and minimum surface roughness, delivering a high performance, low-wear articulation.
Low-wear metallurgy for a more forgiving, high-performance bearing(1).- Stability through large diameter design, minimising dislocation and optimising range of motion(1).
