Exeter cup and Contemporary cup

All Polyethylene Cemented Cups

EXETER CUP

The acetabular component of the Exeter Total Hip System.

 The first Exeter hip was implanted in November 1970 by Professor Robin Ling at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital, Exeter UK. The continuing success of the Exeter Total Hip System is the result of lessons learned from more than 30 years of clinical experience, research and development.1 The Exeter cup was redesigned in 1988 to maximise wear properties of polyethylene.

CONTEMPORARY CUP

The low profile Contemporary cup, including its cement spacers, has been used since 1991.2 The flanged cup option is available to enhance cement pressurisation during insertion of the implant.

Material

The Exeter and Contemporary all polyethylene (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene or UHMWPE) cups are made of Duration stabilised UHMWPE polyethylene. The unique Duration packaging protects the cups from contact with oxygen, preventing oxidation, which can degrade the polyethylene. Duration packaging helps to reduce polyethylene wear.

Bone Cement

Surgical Simplex Bone Cement with its superior strength and long clinical history holds orthopaedic implants securely in place. The Exeter and Contemporary cups are secured into the acetabulum (socket) using bone cement.

Disclaimer

The implants described in this brochure are representative of Stryker hip replacement implants that your surgeon may choose to use in your hip replacement surgery. Notwithstanding your surgeon's pre-surgery evaluation of the hip replacement implants expected to be used for your surgery, it may be necessary, for clinical reasons, for your surgeon to make a revised assessment at the time of your operation. This may result in your surgeon deciding to use different implants (which may not necessarily be Stryker products) to meet your needs.
