What you don't know about XLPE can hurt you

Thinking outside the cup

Innovation, a fundamental Smith & Nephew principle, is again displayed in the R3◊ Acetabular System. The foundation of this innovation is a pioneering shell.

The R3◊ Acetabular Cup is engineered for multiple bearing options and provides a porous coating designed to enhance fixation and bony in-growth. The multi-bearing cup, in addition to providing flexibility for surgeons, provides a foundation designed to reduce wear and the subsequent need for revision surgery. Optimized inserts accommodate larger head sizes and help the R3◊ system achieve a greater range of motion.

By utilizing a single set of instruments for all bearings, the R3◊ Acetabular System gives surgeons one way to think differently.
