- GMDN category: Non-constrained polyethylene acetabular liner
Intended purpose
The G7 Longevity Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners are part of the G7 Acetabular System, which is a modular acetabular system consisting of a shell, liner and optional screws and are intended for use with either primary or revision hip arthroplasties, in cemented or uncemented applications. The indications for use include:
Functional description
The G7 Longevity Poly Liners are manufactured from Longevity, a highly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material, intended to reduce wear rate. The G7 Longevity Poly Liners are intended to mate with a compatible shell and secured by engaging the polyethylene barb and groove locking mechanism. Also intended to articulate against a compatible femoral head, which in turn mates with a femoral hip prosthesis. The ID of the liner must match the OD of the selected femoral head.
