VerSys® Hip System Fiber Metal Taper

The VerSys Fiber Metal Taper Hip incorporates dynamic implant designs produced from advanced technological innovation.

Designers used the ANADAT® Anatomic Database to help create standard and large metaphyseal versions, as well as multiple offset options, allowing surgeons to match implant geometries to a range of patient needs.  The LM versions increase the medial curve by 4mm to 5mm depending on the stem size.

Proven Design with Enhanced Fixation

The VerSys Fiber Metal Taper Hip Prosthesis incorporates a fiber metal ingrowth surface, a corundum ongrowth surface, and a polished, tapered distal tip within a single prosthesis. Many of these cementless stem concepts are based on years of successful clinical experience.1, 2, 3, 4
