MARATHON™ Cemented Cup
MARATHON™ Cemented Cup
Introduced in 2008, MARATHON™ Cemented Cups utilise the cross-linked polyethylene successfully used for over 10 years as a modular liner in the DURALOC® and PINNACLE® Acetabular Cup System.1
MARATHON™ Cross-Linked Polyethylene has been shown to be significantly more resistant to wear compared to non-crosslinked polyethylene.2 In 41 cases, Peck et al achieved 100% survivorship at 5.2 years with 83% reduction in wear versus ENDURON™.3
The fixation features and bearing surface (bore) geometry of the MARATHON™ Cemented Cup are the same as the LPW version of the CHARNLEY® OGEE, CHARNLEY & ELITE PLUS OGEE CUPS.
