APPLYING SCIENCE TO MOBILITY Combined with VERILAST Technology for unmatched performance ADVANTAGES of POLARCUP Dual Mobility System Low wear Advanced bearing technology Low dislocation rates DUAL MOBILITY Insert / cup articulation Ball head / insert articulation THIRD ARTICULATION Neck / insert articulation POLARCUP combined with a polished neck stem without any roughness is highly recommended Increased range of motion Comprehensive product portfolio Accurate and efficient instrumentation 02 Product Information
POLARCUP LOW WEAR A B NEUTRAL POSITION The insert is self-aligning, allowing loading following the path of least resistance LOW LEVEL ACTIVITY Primary movement occurs in the ball head / insert articulation, allowing the insert to sit in its natural position HIGH LEVEL ACTIVITY Secondary movement occurs in the insert / cup articulation THE FACTS The majorityof movement occurs in the ball head / insert articulation. The freely moving insert ensures that movement never occurs in the ball head / insert articulation and the insert / cup articulation at the same time. The optimized cup design prevents impingement with soft tissues and the neck of the stem. Transmission of tensions between the bone / cement cup construct are eliminated due to the freely moving insert. 16 12 8 4 0 POLARCUP in vitro wear at 5 million cycles vs Total Hip Arthroplasty Wear rate (mg/million cycles) 8.87 POLARCUP Standard Polyethylene 12.5 0.39 0.9 POLARCUP cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) *Smith & Nephew internal test data Conventional THA Standard Polyethylene Conventional THA cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) 03
APPLYING SCIENCE TO MOBILITY Combined with VERILAST Technology for unmatched performance The facts in black and white OXINIUM has a surface hardness that is over twice that of cobalt-chrome. OXINIUM may last longer than other implants as it reduces implant wear common to other hips based on lab simulator studies. OXINIUM avoids the risk of brittle fracture that can occur with ceramic implants and is 20% lighter than cobalt-chrome. OXINIUM contains less than 0.0035% detectable nickel, the leading cause of adverse reactions in patients with metal allergies. ADVANCED BEARING TECHNOLOGY The perfect equation for hips. More than a decade ago, Smith & Nephew introduced OXINIUM Oxidized Zirconium. Its combination of hardness, smoothness and scratch-resistance makes it a superior choice for hip implants. 04 Product Information
POLARCUP LOW DISLOCATION RATE The insert acts as a large head increasing the jump distance and reducing the risk of dislocation 1,2,3,4,5 and instability in the joint ø 47 mm* POLARCUP Ø 53 mm 28 mm head (53 mm insert = 47 mm diameter head) Jump Distance = 11.0 mm** *Cup placement at 45 inclination and 15 anteversion **Smith & Nephew internal test data ø 28 mm* STANDARD HIP Ø 50 mm 28 mm head (28 mm diameter head) Jump Distance = 3.8 mm** The superior-posterior 6 skirt under the equatorial rim increases jump distance further decreasing the risk of dislocation ensuring additional stability INCREASED RANGE OF MOTION The range of motion is significantly increased due to the high head / neck ratio compared to conventional acetabular cups.

APPLYING SCIENCE TO MOBILITY Combined with VERILAST Technology for unmatched performance PRODUCT FEATURES LOW WEAR All versions of the POLARCUP have a highly polished internal surface allowing for minimal wear. SELF-ALIGNING IMPLANT The circular feature on the dome of the cup ensures correct cup placement and optimal load transfer. The self-aligning insert allows loading following the path of least resistance. SURFACE The Ti-Plasma and Ti-Plasma / HA surfaces have a high degree of surface roughness with good osteointergration. STABILITY The equatorial teeth and ribs prevent rotation and allow for good primary stability. CEMENT The cemented POLARCUP can be used with previously implanted reinforcement rings, providing increased stability and reduced dislocation rates 1 in complex acetabular revisions 5. Flanges broken off using the flange cutter Flanges bent over the acetabular rim fixed with 1 or 2 cortical screws Flanges bent over the acetabular rim without cortical screws Flanges bent over the acetabulum fixed with 1 or 2 cortical screws and 2 impacted anchoring pegs ADDITIONAL FIXATION One cup, four combinations The screws and pegs can be used in combination with the Ti Plasma / HA flanged POLARCUP to provide additional fixation 06 Product Information
