Reliable - Safe - Solution

The concept of double mobility was developed by Prof. Gilles Bousquet in 1975 with the aim of treating habitual hip luxation.¹³ The system consists of a metal casing with a highly polished internal surface and a movable polyethylene inlay, in which a press-fitted prosthesis head moves. This provides a greater range of motion with less abrasion^{14, 15, 16} and reduced risk of luxation.^{15, 17, 18} It was on the basis of this principle that the BiMobile Acetabular Cup System came about.

The development of the bimobile acetabular cup system drew on many years of experience with successful implant systems and fixation concepts plus state-of-the-art material and coating technologies. The result is the versatile BiMobile Acetabular Cup System.

The cementless BiMobile Acetabular Cup is available with a TiCaP double coating. The TiCaP double coating combines the properties of a highly porous layer of pure titanium for primary fixation and calcium phosphate coating, which together provide optimal primary and secondary implant stability.^{4, 5} A special macrostructure on the cup equator increases primary stability.⁹

Highly wear-resistant acetabular cup^{1, 2, 6}

The BiMobile Dual Mobility System is available in two versions, either cemented or cementless. The metal casings in both versions are fabricated from biocompatible, sturdy EndoDur CoCrMo material.^{1, 2} The inner surface is highly polished in order to minimize wear.

Use of known anchoring techniques

The cemented BiMobile Acetabular Cup has a finely matt-finished SatinLink surface, which is also a feature of the SP II stems. Latitudinal and longitudinal groove-like structures reinforce the fixation and allow air to escape when the implant is pressed into the cement bed.

Self-centering inlay¹¹

The UHWMPE inlay can be combined with LINK prosthesis heads made of CoCrMo or ceramic with a 22 mm or 28 mm diameter.

Features and advantages

Highly abrasion-resistant, biocompatible EndoDur CoCrMo Material^{1, 2, 6}
Secure implantation by means of a fixed implant-instrument connection and free view of the acetabular cup rim^{11, 12}
Cementless and cemented anchorage
28 mm prosthesis head from an acetabular cup size of 48 mm for a large range of motion
Wide choice of sizes (42-70 mm)
Clinically proven, very rough TiCaP double coating^{2, 3}
Self-centering inlays for uniform load distribution and increased protection against luxation⁷
Anatomical medioventral recess for a large range of motion and to protect the femoral nerve and iliopsoas
