If you or someone you love suffers from arthritis, your surgeon may recommend hip replacement surgery. Various factors determine whether a hip replacement is right for you.
It is important that your surgeon be confident in the long-term durability of your implant. Unlike technology in other industries, newer orthopaedic implant designs are not necessarily better.
Material and design work hand-in-hand. While all manufacturers strive to make their implants as durable as possible, occasionally the choice of material creates limitations on the implant's design. For example, while ceramic is considered a highly durable material for hip implants, current designs do not provide the same potential range of hip motion as OMNIlife science's metal-on-metal hip component, made with another highly durable material with greater design flexibility.
OMNIlife science engineers, working in conjunction with leading surgeons, balance material and design considerations to provide the greatest potential benefit.
Your surgeon must have the tools he or she needs to treat your condition, and to address the unexpected. OMNIlife science provides the widest range of implant choices and sizes available. Our goal is to provide designs that will address a wide range of patients' conditions.
Additionally, OMNIlife science offers the latest in minimally-invasive surgical instruments, allowing you to benefit from techniques designed to reduce trauma, pain, blood loss, and recovery time.
