C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis by DePuy Ireland UC
The C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis is a cutting-edge medical device from DePuy Ireland UC that is designed to aid in hip joint replacement surgery. It is ideal for patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or any other degenerative joint disease that may necessitate a joint replacement procedure.
Thanks to its unique triple taper design, the C-Stem AMT LE prosthesis offers stability and optimal load distribution, which can help extend the longevity of the prosthesis by reducing instances of wear and tear. The design also aids in the prevention of potential loosening and stress shielding.
One of the major benefits of this device is its AMT (Articul/eze Metal on Metal) technology. This refers to the nature of the materials used in the prosthesis, allowing for an enhanced range of movement for the patient post-surgery. The AMT surface finish has been engineered to reduce friction between the joint components, improving patient comfort and mobility.
Additionally, the C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis comes in a variety of sizes, providing orthopedic surgeons with a plethora of options to ensure a perfect fit for each individual patient. This flexibility in size selection allows for an optimal match, ensuring a successful joint replacement procedure.
Overall, the C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis by DePuy Ireland UC offers a comprehensive solution to patients requiring hip joint replacement, providing an innovative blend of balance, function, durability and customizable fit.
How It Works:
Understanding the C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis
The C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis is a highly innovative and ground-breaking piece of orthopedic equipment, specially designed and manufactured for medical professionals who administer state-of-the-art care in orthopedics. With a deep understanding of the complex needs in this field, this device can offer functional and effective solutions to a spectrum of patients' problems.
Functionality & Feature of C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis
The C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis is engineered to replace the damaged surface of the hip joint. This
hip joint replacement works by mirroring the ball-and-socket structure of the hip joint. Its primary function is to provide pain relief, restore patient mobility and improve overall quality of life.
Constructed from high-grade, biocompatible materials - typically a combination of metal and plastic - this orthopedic implant effectively imitates the function of the hip joint. The use of such materials also reduces the likelihood of the body's immune system rejecting these foreign objects.
Procedure Overview
The
prosthetic joint, composed of a ball component and a socket component, replaces the original hip joint. After the damaged bone and cartilage are removed, these artificial counterparts are fixed in place.
The ball component, made from a durable metallic alloy, is affixed to a metallic stem inserted into the femur. The socket component is then inserted into the hip's pelvic socket, completing the joint.
A plastic (
polyethylene) spacer is positioned in between these components to ensure smooth, frictionless movement mimicking that of a healthy hip joint. This
polyethylene spacer is noted for its wear resistance, ensuring longevity and durability of the implant.
Benefits to Patients
Patients undergoing this procedure typically reap the benefits of reduced pain and increased mobility and function. Return to normal daily activities is usual, drastically improving patient's quality of life.
To ensure optimal results and maximize the implant’s lifespan, it is crucial that patients adhere to post-operation instructions, regular follow-ups, and rehabilitative therapy.
Remember, choosing the right medical equipment like the C-Stem AMT LE Prosthesis is vital for providing the best orthopedic care possible.
