Features & Benefits

Multiple Fixation Options
Initial and long-term component fixation are key to restore joint function. With the PINNACLE® Cup, fixation is achieved through 180° of either POROCOAT®, DUOFIX® with Hydroxyapatite (HA) or GRIPTION® Coatings.
Cementless coating fixation technologies2, 3, 4 are based on the clinical performance5, 6, 7 of POROCOAT® Porous Coating, which was introduced with the AML® Cup in 1977, with the DURALOC® Cup in 1980 and with the PINNACLE® Cup in 2000. Therefore, it has been clinically tracked for over 30 years. The DUOFIX® Fixation System was introduced with PINNACLE® cups in 2003 being an evolutionary combination of POROCOAT® Porous Coating and highly amorphous hydroxyapatite (HA).
Finally, in 2009 the GRIPTION® Cup emerged with its 3D fixation technology6-11.

ALTRX® Polyethylene
ALTRX® Polyethylene is an ultra-low-wear polyethylene and an advanced option in alternative bearings. The specific manufacturing process is designed to optimise the balance between wear reduction, mechanical integrity, and oxidative stability.

BIOLOX® Delta Ceramic Heads
The technology of BIOLOX® Delta Ceramic Heads articulating on ALTRX® Polyethylene Bearings provides an alternative solution for high-demand patients.

Intraoperative Flexibility
PINNACLE® Hip Solutions provides a full spectrum of shell styles, liner offerings, and offset options to address a wide variety of patient anatomies.
