Optimom
Large Diameter Metal-on-Metal Hip System
Optimom, part of Corin's Total Cementless Hip System is a large metal bearing that locates on a femoral stem (such as Corin's MiniHip or 
MetaFix), and is articulated against the Cormet resurfacing cup to create a large diameter metal-on-metal (LDMOM) bearing for use in a total hip replacement.
LDMOM bearings are intended for use in young, active patients, as a revision option for patients with resurfacing heads or as a primary option for patients not suitable for resurfacing. The large diameter heads produce lower dislocation rates and an increased range of motion when compared to conventional total hip replacements, which together permit the patient to return to high activity levels(1).
