Product Overview

BIRMINGHAM HIP HEAD IMPACTOR
BIRMINGHAM HIP - 90127555


Device Description

A metal and/or plastic hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to position an orthopaedic implant within the body by transmission of an impact force that drives the implant into its final position. The proximal end of the instrument is a handle usually designed to absorb the impact from a surgical hammer or mallet, and the distal end is usually shaped to conform to the implant shape (flat or anatomically curved) or is shaped like a chisel handle to facilitate implant positioning. This is a reusable device.

    Device Name: Prosthesis, Hip, Semi-Constrained, Metal/Metal, Resurfacing

    Device Class: 3

    Physical State: The femoral resurfacing component and acetabular components are made of metal. These surfaces rub against each other (the bearing couple) and are made from highly-polished metal. This type of bearing couple is called a metal-on-metal bearing couple.

    Definition: Prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/metal, resurfacing device relieves hip pain and improves hip function by replacing the parts of the hip that have been severely damaged by degenerative joint diseases. This device is indicated for patients with degenerative joint diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, dysplasia, or avascular necrosis and for patients who, due to their relatively younger age or increased activity level, may not be suitable for traditional total hip replacement due to an increased possibility of requiring future hip joint revision.
