Zimmer® M/L Taper with Kinectiv™ Technology

M/L Taper Hip with Modular Neck

  • Low profile eases insertion and minimizes soft tissue trauma
  • Broad range of head centers provide more opportunities to optimally restore fit and function in the limited view environment encountered in minimally invasive hip procedures
  • Ability to adjust leg length, offset, and version independently after stem implantation
  • Necks with version to help mitigate impingement
  • Opportunity to implant the stem prior to acetabular implantation

Built on Proven M/L Taper Hip Design Philosophy

  • Tapered wedge design provides a wedge fit for mediolateral stability
  • Slim A/P dimension conserves bone while providing excellent torsional stability
  • Tivanium® Ti-6Al-4V Alloy provides excellent biocompatibility and strength without excessive stiffness
  • Minimized lateral shoulder helps to conserve bone and ease insertion
  • Circumferential plasma spray facilitates mechanical fixation for a secure bone-implant interface
  • Rasp only technique simplifies femoral preparation
