## Device Story

Pivot™ Bipolar Head is a prosthetic component for hip arthroplasty. It functions as a femoral head replacement in cemented or uncemented applications. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to restore hip joint function in patients with degenerative or traumatic conditions. The device replaces the natural femoral head, articulating within the acetabulum or a prosthetic cup to facilitate joint movement and alleviate pain. It is a mechanical implant; no software or electronic components are involved.

## Technological Characteristics

Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented prosthesis. Mechanical implant design. Materials and specifications not detailed in provided text.

## Regulatory Identification

A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace the head and neck of the femur. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a snap-fit acetabular component made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device may be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) or implanted by impaction.
