Intended Use

Mpact Constrained Liner is intended to be used as part of a Total Hip Arthroplasty, uncemented in combination with the Mpact and Mpact 3D Metal System acetabular shells. Total Hip Arthroplasty is indicated in the following cases: - Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthrosis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid polyarthritis or congenital hip dysplasia - Avascular necrosis of the femoral head - Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck - Failure of previous hip surgery: joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, partial hip arthroplasty, hip resurfacing replacement or total hip arthroplasty. Mpact Constrained Liner is intended for primary or revision patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intraoperative instability and for whom all other options to constrained acetabular components have been considered. Mpact Constrained Liner should be considered only for patients with limited functional demand, as it offers a smaller range of motion than the standard total hip replacement components.

Device Story

Acetabular liner implant; preassembled UHMWPE liner with bipolar head. Used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) to prevent dislocation in high-risk patients. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Provides mechanical constraint to the hip joint; limits range of motion compared to standard components. Benefits patients with history of instability or bone loss by reducing risk of recurrent dislocation. Provided sterile.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluated range of motion (EN ISO 21535), component thickness, impingement/lever-out forces (ASTM F2582-20, ASTM F1820-22), wear (ISO 14242-1, ASTM F732), and disassembly forces (push-out, torsion, pull-out). Biocompatibility and pyrogenicity (ISO 11737-3, USP <151>, USP <85>) were validated.

Technological Characteristics

Acetabular liner consisting of UHMWPE and bipolar head. Available in six sizes, flat or 10° face-changing configurations. Mechanical locking mechanism. Sterilized, single-use. Testing standards: EN ISO 21535, ASTM F2582-20, ASTM F1820-22, ISO 14242-1, ASTM F732.

Indications for Use

Indicated for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty patients at high risk of dislocation (history of dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intraoperative instability) with limited functional demand. Contraindicated for patients requiring standard range of motion.
