S-Taper & S-Taper Mirror

S-Taper is a straight stem that’s easy to implant and anchor.

It’s characterized by its:

Conical shape in the antero-posterior and lateral planes, ensuring anchorage not only in the proximal or distal part of the femur but on the entire portion of the prosthesis housing.
Graded sizing of the entire prosthesis; width and thickness increase in proportion to the size of the neck.
Rounded distal extremity of the prosthesis is to facilitate insertion.
Two holes for removal, one threaded axial at the top of the stem and one in an antero-posterior position, thus providing two possible ways to remove the stem if necessary.

The prosthesis is made of titanium with a low elasticity modulus TI 6Al 7Nb (ISO 5832-11) which can tolerate temporary deformation under stress. It encourages balanced load distribution over all the surrounding areas. No concentrated forces are applied to any particular area or element, as in a healthy, unbroken femur
To increase osteo-integration without the use of additional porous coatings, the “S-TAPER” is given an extremely rough corundum finishing guaranteeing an Ra of 5-7 μ

S-Taper is a straight stem that’s easy to implant and anchor.

Conical antero-posterior and lateral shape, which guarantees anchorage not only in the proximal or distal part of the femur, but in all the entire housing;
The proportional sizing of the stem: as its size increases, so too that of the neck, length and thickness;
The tapered distal end of the stem, enabling it to be inserted in the cemented;
The surface finish consists of a mirror polish that minimizes abrasion at the expense of cement;
8 different stem lengths;
A deformable distal centralizer (17mm) in PMMA;
Cervical-diaphyseal angle of 131°.
