Endo II cobalt chrome alloy head for use with Endo II taper adaptor - Metallic femoral head prosthesis

Intended purpose

Cobalt chrome alloy unipolar femoral head for use with Endo II taper adaptors only in primary hemi hip arthroplasty, intended to relieve pain and restore hip function as a result of disease or accident. Indications include: Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; Rheumatoid arthritis; Correction of functional deformity; Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques; Revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed

Functional description

The Biomet Endo II Heads are made of cobalt-chrome, and designed to mate with Biomet taper type I trunnions, through the use of titanium cylindrical taper adapters. The Endo II Head construct is placed on the trunnion of the hip femoral stem and impacted. This hemi-arthroplasty device system is intended to articulate on the patient’s natural acetabulum. The devices are intended to be used in primary applications with Biomet cemented or cementless femoral stems.
