TANDEM™

Bipolar and Unipolar Hip System

Overview

TandemBipolarandUnipolarHipSystem _Overview

The TANDEM^◊ Bipolar and Unipolar Hip System is the most comprehensive partial hip replacement system on the market. By integrating superior features into a new design,TANDEM^◊ system minimizes wear, eliminates poly degradation and maximizes range of motion.

Features and Benefits

Preassembled polyethylene component minimizes rotational and axial movement at liner/shell interface.
Anti-rotation boss on polyethylene ring minimizes micromotion at the periphery of the shell.
TANDEM^◊ system is ETO sterilized to reduce potential for polyethylene degradation.
Wide liner chamfer allows maximum ROM when combined with optimized neck geometry of Smith & Nephew stems.
TANDEM^◊ Bipolar implant assembly requires no tools for assembly, requires less than five pounds of finger pressure to lock periphery ring into place.
Simple one tray system allows for trialing and implantation of either bipolar or unipolar implants.
OXINIUM^◊ Unipolar implants are available, giving Smith & Nephew the only alternative bearing surface for unipolar implants.
