The “screw-in” procedure is easy to perform and allows a controlled implantation from the first turn.
The self-tapping threads anchor the cup in the cancellous and cortical bone for a high primary bone anchorage and optimal seating.
The high primary stability allows the use of the cup in difficult anatomic conditions.
In addition to the thread anchor-mechanism, the trabecular-like surface contains an optimal loomen characteristic for bone ongrow.
