United Orthopedic adds FDA-cleared Momentum cup system to U.S. hip portfolio

United Orthopedic Corporation has expanded its U.S. hip lineup with the FDA-cleared Momentum Acetabular Cup and Liner System, adding dual mobility and vitamin E polyethylene options. The move is meant to give surgeons more flexibility during total hip arthroplasty and streamline cup and liner assembly.

Why it matters: - The Momentum Acetabular Cup and Liner System broadens United Orthopedic Corporation’s U.S. acetabular portfolio with more bearing choices for total hip arthroplasty. - The added dual mobility and vitamin E polyethylene options are intended to give surgeons more flexibility in the operating room. - The system is designed to support efficient cup and liner assembly, which can affect workflow during hip replacement procedures.

What happened: - United Orthopedic Corporation announced the U.S. expansion of its hip portfolio with the Momentum Acetabular Cup and Liner System. - The system has received FDA clearance. - The launch adds the Momentum system to United’s existing acetabular offering in the U.S.

The details: - The Momentum system includes dual mobility and vitamin E polyethylene liner options. - The liner options are offered in United’s EXPE and XPE materials. - The system uses a flush cup-and-liner configuration designed to support a streamlined construct. - An alignment peg with a liner post serves as an insertion reference to help with liner positioning, alignment, and assembly. - A bossed apical dome with a square-profile tip is designed to maintain secure impactor engagement and reduce toggling motion and cup dislodgement during impaction. - An 18-degree taper interface is designed to provide a wider lead-in entry and help with liner alignment and insertion compared with a conventional 10-degree taper angle. - United directs readers to more information about its products. - United Orthopedic Corporation is an international designer, manufacturer, and distributor of orthopedic implant solutions. - The company says it has worked for more than 30 years with surgeons and healthcare institutions on hip, knee, and limb salvage solutions. - United Orthopedic Corporation is headquartered in Taiwan, and its U.S. operations are based in Irvine, Calif. - The company also points readers to its U.S. site. - United’s social media page is on LinkedIn.
