The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter is comprised of a semi-compliant angioplasty balloon surrounded by a nitinol scoring element. The idea is to provide controlled predictable scoring of the artery wall to allow better dilatation with the semi compliant balloon. The semi compliant nature...

The Angioslide Proteus balloon catheter combines the features of an angioplasty device and an embolic capture device. The Angioslide's balloon is folded inwards after inflation, creating a natural negative pressure, which drives debris particles into the balloon lumen. The idea is that you...

The Corail stem has been in clinical use since the 1980s. It is a fully hydroxy-apatite coated (150 micron thickness) non-porous forged titanium alloy stem. The design includes a proximal trapexoidal cross section, intended to resist axial/torsional stresses and promote initial stability, and a...

The TaperLoc Microplasty from Biomet is a short femoral stem which is essentially a shortened version of the Taperloc stem (35mm shorter). This is a collarless, flat tapered wedge design, made from porous, plasma sprayed titanium. Lombardi et al give some useful advice for insertion. They...

The Aida Short Stem hip from Implantcast is a shortened titanium stem with a proximal coating of both pure titanium and hydroxyapatite. The modular neck is compatible with ceramic and large diameter bearings, such as the ACCIS hip. There are no published results. Do you have experience...
