HYPE^® Acetabular Cup

Characteristics: 

• The Hype^® cup is available in diameters of 45 mm to 63 mm.
• The HIC ceramic liner is intended for Ø 28, 32 and 36 mm femoral heads.
• The HIPER liner has an overhang and is intended for Ø 22.2 and 28 mm femoral heads.
• Fixing screws (optional) have a diameter of 6.5 mm and are available in a length of 20 to 45 mm (in 5 mm increments).

Materials:

• The Hype^® cup is made from titanium alloy + dual coating made of titanium spray and HA.
• The screws are made from titanium alloy.
• The HIC insert is made from Biolox^® delta ceramic.
• The HIPER insert is made from UHMWPE.

• One instrumentation set for the two versions of Hype^® liner
• Additional sets available:
  • for preparation and insertion of the locking screws.
  • for anterior approach and minimally invasive surgeries.

The Hype^® cup is indicated in the following cases:

•  Primary or secondary arthrosis,
•  Inflammatory degenerative joint diseases,
• Fractures of the proximal femur,
• Avascular necrosis
• These indications are appropriate according to the following classifications: step 1, 2, 3 of SOFCOT or type 1, 2A, 2B, 2C of Paprosky classification.
• The use of ceramics appears to be particularly suited to young active patients (reduction in the degree of wear compared with conventional friction torque).
• Several inflammatory degenerative joint diseases may lead to a pathological hip. Some of them are listed hereunder. However, this list is informative:
• Rheumatoid arthritis,
• Spondylitis.

Contraindications for the Hype^® cup are as follows:

•  Localized or systemic acute or chronic infection,
•  Skeletal immaturity,
• Pregnant or nursing women,
• Known allergy to one of the prosthesis components (see figure 6),
• Severe muscular, neurological, or vascular deficiency affecting the concerned limb,
• Bone degradation or bone loss, or poor bone quality likely to affect the stability of the implant,
• Local bone tumors,
• Obesity.
