The bipolar monoblock shell has following basic design features:
- Bipolar Monoblock shell is comprised of a factory assembled UHMWPE (Grade: GUR1050) inner liner and highly polished stainless steel outer metal dome.
- UHMWPE material of bipolar Monoblock shell conforms to ASTM F648-14: “Standard specification for UHMWPE powder and fabricated form for surgical implants". Stainless steel material of bipolar Monoblock shell conforms to ASTM F139-12: “Wrought 18 Chromium-14 Nickel-2.5 Molybdenum Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip for Surgical Implants.” and ISO 5832-1:2007: “Implants for surgery- metallic materials-part 1: Wrought stainless steel”.
- In Vivo, the outer surface of the bipolar Monoblock shell articulates directly with well-preserved acetabulum while the inner surface of bipolar Monoblock shell articulates with compatible modular femoral head.
- The bipolar Monoblock shell is available in variety of sizes with different outer diameter (37 mm to 43 mm) and an inner diameter (22 mm and 28 mm).
