Plasmafit®
Cementless acetabular cup system

Successful Market Implementation: 10 Years Plasmafit®
 

B. Braun went through different design stages and a thorough investigation on the surface structure to create the rough surface of the Plasmafit® acetabular cup system.


Fast, simple & safe was the major criteria in the development of the cup. In 2022, after ten successful years of Plasmafit® in the markets, it can be said that the straight-forward surgical technique with a very good feeling for the surgeon, wide range of possible indications and an easy and intuitive instrumentation make the essential features of Plasmafit®. Recently, a modular Dual Mobility option and Plasmafit® Revision, an acetabular revision cup, were added to system and complement the cup family.

 

Together with the clinical advisors Prof. Peter Aldinger and Prof. Michael Clarius we look back on ten fruitful years. Check out which features the two appreciate most.

 

Feel the grip. Get the fit.

The Plasmafit® acetabular system features and combines several important elements for cementless orthopaedic implants: High primary stability even in difficult conditions, low-abrasion articulation and ideal implant position. The Plasmapore® surface provides through its roughness a strong connection to the bone. The possibility of a Biolox® ceramic insert provides high lubricity and minimum wear. With Vitelene® (highly-crosslinked polyethylene with vitamin E) there is a new material available, which is characterized by high wear and oxidation resistance. This plays an important role in the field of highly-crosslinked articulation. The OrthoPilot® Navigation technology combines these features with the possibility of an exact implant positioning.
