Intended Use

The Bencox Forte and Bencox Delta ceramic heads is intended for use in total or partial hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery for the following conditions: a. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis b. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis c. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques d. Patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists e. Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty

Device Story

Bencox Forte and Bencox Delta are ceramic femoral head prostheses designed for total or partial hip arthroplasty. The device acts as the articulating component of a hip system, mechanically fixed to a mating hip stem via a standard 12/14 taper. It articulates against UHMWPE (highly cross-linked or conventional) liners. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons during primary or revision hip surgery. The device restores joint function and reduces pain in patients with degenerative joint disease or fractures. It is manufactured from bio-inert alumina ceramic (Al2O3).

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included component burst strength testing of BIOLOX forte ball heads on titanium test tapers per ISO 7206-10 and influence of diameter/neck length on burst strength. Sterilization validation performed per ISO 11137-1 and 11137-2 to a SAL of 10^-6.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Alumina ceramic (Al2O3) per ASTM F603 / ISO 6474. Form factor: Femoral ball heads, 28-40 mm diameter. Interface: 12/14 taper. Sterilization: Gamma radiation (Co-60).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring total or partial hip arthroplasty (primary or revision) due to non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis), inflammatory degenerative joint disease (rheumatoid arthritis), femoral neck/trochanteric fractures with head involvement, or failed previous hip surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.

c. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques d. Patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists e. Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty

### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Bencox Biolox Ceramic Head is a component of a Hip Prosthesis System and intended for mechanical fixation to a mating hip stem, with a standard 12/14 taper. It is intended to articulate between both Highly Cross Linked UHMWPE as well as Conventional UHMWPE.

The Bencox Ceramic Head is available as standard type and is manufactured from bio-inert alumina ceramic, Al2O3 as per ASTM F603 / ISO 6474. The ceramic femoral balls heads range in diameter from 28 mm to 40 mm with small, medium & large versions.

Radiation (gamma) sterilization is used for Bencox Forte and Bencox Delta Biolox ceramic heads. Sterilization by Co-60 gamma irradiation has been validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 by the bioburden method, according to ISO 11137-1 & ISO 11137-2. Following sterilization packaging was validated for a shelf life of 5 years for BENCOX Forte & Delta ceramic femoral heads.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES

BENCOX Forte & BENCOX Delta Biolox components are substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the predicate devices, each of which has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent:
