SUMMIT® Tapered Hip System POROCOAT® & DUOFIX™ HA
About this product
Division: Hip Reconstruction
Category: Primary Femoral Stems
Titanium tapered stems have been clinically established in cementless total hip arthroplasty for many years. The SUMMIT Tapered Hip System is an advanced version of the tapered stem geometry philosophy. It was designed and launched in 2001. Its fixation is the foundation of long-term clinical success3, a biocompatible titanium alloy, combined with POROCOAT Porous Coating and underlying radial ZTT™ macro texture, creates a surface that enhances initial stability and biologic in-growth.3,7
The SUMMIT stem is also available with DUOFIX HA coating, which combines the clinically proven fixation of POROCOAT Porous Coating with the potential benefits of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating 8,9,10.
