Intended purpose
A PE insert component of the ACS knee system.

Functional description
The symmetric ACS MB PE?inserts are movable on the tibial component by permitting rotational movements. A deep anterior notch provides space for the patella ligament and surrounding soft tissue, even in deep flexion angles. The posterior notch allows for preservation of the posterior cruciate ligament. Highly concave formed bearing surfaces ensure a high congruency to the femoral component and thus high stability throughout the whole range of motion. Constructed of UHMWPE.
