Exceed ABT

Exceed ABT Hip replacement
The Exceed ABT multi-bearing acetabular cup system combines the latest technological developments in large diameter bearing design with clinically proven fixation methods.

  • Highly versatile multi-bearing cup: The facility to select intra-operatively between E1 Antioxidant Infused Technology, ceramic and metal bearings addresses a variety of primary or revision clinical requirements and patient needs.

  • Ultra-low wear bearing: E1 offers high mechanical strength, and true oxidative resistance

  • Improved stability and increased range of motion: The large bearing diameters minimise the risk of implant dislocation and improve the patient functional outcome.

  • Low risk of micromotion: 
    - The clinically proven  Ringloc locking technology achieves maximum push out, lever-out strength with lower micro-motion of independently tested competitive systems5,6,7,8.
    - The Ceralock fixation concept by Ceramtec utilises conical tapers to securely lock ceramic, metal or E1 liners into the Exceed ABT Taperfit cup.
  • Reduced risk of dislocation: The patented 15o cup helps restore the biomechanics of the joint by addressing vertically placed cups.
     
  • Reduced risk of aseptic loosening:
    - All Exceed ABT Acetabular components utilise Biomet’s clinically proven porous Plasma Spay (PPS) coating which has been enhancing implant stability and survivorship9,10,11,12.
    - The optional nano-crystalline Bonemaster HA, is proven to clinically enhance bone density13.

  • Reduced Inventory: the Exceed ABT cups can be easily converted from a ‘solid’ to a ‘multi-hole’ shell by removing the pre-assembled blanking plugs.
