VERSAFITCUP HIGHCROSS - Double Mobility Liner
HIGH PERFORMANCES WITH NO DRAWBACKS
The Versafitcup System increased its product range thanks to the introduction of the HighCross double mobility liner: the alternative to Metal-On-Metal Large Heads and Ceramic-On-Ceramic. This new product combines all the advantages of Double Mobility design with the enhanced properties of cross-linked polyethylene:
  • The Double Mobility design includes different features giving important benefits: a low wear rate; a low dislocation rate; an increased Range of Motion.
  • The Highcross material guarantees a low wear rate, reducing the risk of one of the main causes of implant failure: osteolysis due to polyethylene wear debris.
The Versafitcup Highcross Double Mobility Liner has important benefits when compared to conventional cup design:

1 Low dislocation rate (the diameter responsible for hip stability is the liner diameter, due to the retentive mechanism for the femoral head).

2 Low wear rate thanks to the Highcross dual mobility and third articulation.

3 Big Range of Motion thanks to increased head/neck ratio.
  • Better than standard UHMWPe liners: - Further wear reduction thanks to Highcross technology.(2)
  • Better than Metal-on-Metal: No risk of metal ions release.
  • Better than Ceramic-on-Ceramic: No risk of liner fracture - No squeaking.
