Whether you’re a surgeon who’s just been presented with a new case, a nurse treating a chronic wound or working in acute care, it’s your responsibility to stay in control of infection management.

The ANTHEM^◊ Total Knee System was designed to provide an advanced and anatomically fit prosthesis and instrumentation system.

The ANTHOLOGY  system is a hip stem (femoral implant with a neck and ball) used for primary hip replacement surgery.  The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, connecting the femur with the pelvis. The head of the femur, shaped like a ball, fits tightly into the acetabulum, forming the ball and socket joint of the hip, allowing the leg to move forward and backward, side to side, and rotate right and left.  Hip replacement surgery involves adding a femoral implant into the femur and adding an acetabular cup in the pelvis to help restore range of motion in the hip. The ANTHOLOGY hip system has integrated instruments designed for specific minimally invasive surgical hip approaches.

The BIRMINGHAM HIP^◊ Resurfacing (BHR^◊) System is a conservative approach to hip arthroplasty in which an all-metal bearing couple is used to preserve, rather than replace, a patient’s femoral head and neck. It was first implanted in July 1997, and was approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006. Since its introduction, there have been over 190,000 BHR implantations worldwide.

BICON-PLUS◊ cementless threaded cup system. In clinical use for over 25 years. The first generation of BICON-PLUS was introduced in 1992. In 2002, the second generation, with a closed shell rim, was launched. Today, more than 450,000 units have been sold all over the world.

The Bipolar Prosthesis consists of an outer shell of stainless CrNiMo steel according to ISO 5832-1, a polyethylene (UHMWPE) insert, according to ISO 5834-2, and locking ring. The Bipolar Prostheses are available in 22 sizes (39-60mm, in 1mm increments) and can be combined with a 22mm diameter femoral head (39-42) and a 28mm diameter femoral head (43-60).

RI.HIP NAVIGATION is a Smith+Nephew proprietary technology that is part of Real Intelligence, an ecosystem that creates a seamless connection through the continuum of care by combining robotics, software and data to improve outcomes.

RI.KNEE NAVIGATION puts the surgeon in control of assessing the individual patient disease state and predicting the knee stability over the full range of motion. Navigating gets even better* with a simplified, touch-free interface, pinless options and easy-to-use CLEARLENS arrays.

The design of EP-FIT PLUS◊ is based on a Triple Radius Profile (TRP) which is formed by three non-incremental radii:

Since the first implantation in May 1988, the HI cup has been implanted with unchanged external geometry and material. The typical features of the HI cup are its single-start flat thread and the bone-sparing parabolic shape. Surgeons have an option of either ceramic-, cross-linked polyethylene- or polyethylene-inserts with direct anchoring in the titanium shell.
