Device Description

The OPTEON Unipolar Endoprosthesis is a polished, truncated sphere made of cast cobalt chrome, ASTM F75. The high tolerance taper connection machined at the base of each unipolar component will mate with all Exactech femoral hip stems.

The external geometry approximates the shape of the normal femoral head and is intended for use in hemiatthroplasty. The modular system allows for future total hip arthroplasty without removal of the femoral stem.

The cast cobalt chrome geometry of the Exactech unipolar prosthesis has had many predecessors since the use of the Moore prosthesis over 50 years ago. The manufacturing advances in casting and materials technology has led to devices which exhibit increased structural strength and highly polished surfaces for decreased surface friction. The OPTEON Unipolar is pattemed after other clinically successful unipolar designs. Clinical results of the Unipolar device has been reported to be effective.

The OPTEON Unipolar is similar to the Corin Unipolar and the Howmedica Unipolar in material, finish, and spherical design. Both the Opteon and the Corin Unipolar have a taper machined into it that will mate directly to the femoral components. Both outside geometries are essentially truncated spheres. Both are manufactured from ASTM F-75 Cobalt Chrome.

The Exactech Opteon Unipolar device is similar to the Howmedica design in that both utilize metal spheres. The Exactech Unipolar is dissimilar from the Howmedica Unitrax® Unipolar System in the way the Unitrax component connects to the femoral stem. The inner portion of Howmedica's Unipolar contains a polyethylene insert which allows the intraoperative press fit assembly of a metal, tapered neck sleeve. Howmedica's Unipolar also offers various sizes of tapered neck sleeve choices.

A complete instrumentation and trial system is available to assist in accurate implantation of the Exactech OPTEON Unipolar Endoprosthesis.

§ 888.3360 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.(b)
