MUTARS RS coupling device silver - Body femoral/tibial extension stem, uncoated

Intended purpose

A component of the MUTARS system intended to provide an adapter coupling between components in the femoral region. Primary indication for the use of the MUTARS systems is after bone resection because of a tumour. Further indications for the use of the MUTARS systems are massive bone loss such as in Morbus Gorham or for the revision arthroplasty and for the prosthetic treatment in case of fractures, pseudarthrosis and arthrosis. The silver coated surface builds a long term prophylaxis against the colonisation of human pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and epidermis, exclusive enterobacteriae and should not be considered as acute treatment.

Functional description

Composed of TiAl6V4 with silver coating. Provides coupling of a component with a MUTARS taper connection to a component with a MUTARS cylindrical fit connection. It has a male MUTARS cylindrical and serration connection at one end and a female MUTARS taper connection at the other end. The coupling is 28 mm in diameter and 30 mm in length. An 8 mm diameter internal MUTARS coupling device screw is applied across the connection to secure the connection.
