The femoral components are designed forbiological fixation, although cemented femoralstems are also available. The acetabular cups aremetal-backed with BioCoat ® on the fixation surfaces.All metal parts are made of ceramic coatedUltraCoat ® surgical grade titanium alloy. Femoralheads in Co-Cr alloy and ceramic coated UltraCoatsurgical grade titanium alloy are available in 28 and 32mm diameters.The femoral stems use a neck angle of 32° rather than the conventional45° to better align the neck with the forces in the hip. Thisimproved alignment allows the use of a smaller neck increasing therange of motion of the hip. The anatomically shaped acetabular cupsremove regions with unneeded material, further improving motion.Both improvements reduce impingement and the risk of dislocation.BioCoat ® and UltraCoat ® are trademarks of Endotec Inc and The B-P Trust.Endotec Inc.Tel: 973-762-6100, www.endotec.comAAOS Booth 4322 Enquiry No 7258 Orthopaedic Product News • January/February 2007
PRODUCT FEATURESToggleLoc Femoral Fixation DeviceThe ToggleLoc Femoral Fixation Device from Biomet Sports Medicine,Inc. was created to provide a method for strong, stiff fixation for ACLreconstruction using a simple and straight-forward surgical technique.Designed specifically for soft tissue grafts, the ToggleLoc Femoral FixationDevice captures the cortical bone of the femur, which is 50 times strongerthan cancellous bone. 1 The ToggleLoc Femoral Fixation Device is preloadedwith MaxBraid Passing Suture and packaged on a unique card,which allows simple loading of the soft tissue graft. The surgeon-friendlysurgical technique requires only a depth gauge and a 4.5mm drill bit to preparethe tunnel for implanting the ToggleLoc Femoral Fixation Device.1.

It isdesigned to act as a scaffold for atorn tendon that is too fragile tomaintain a strong connection withthe bone on its own. The pliable,knitted Artelon® material is abiocompatible degradable poly(urethane urea) that providesshort and long term reinforcement while acting as a partially degradablescaffold that is incorporated into the patient’s own tissue. 1 Excellent biocompatibilityhas been demonstrated in soft tissue and bone with over eight yearsclinical experience. 11.
