Versatile Acetabular Solution

Seamlessly integrated with the Alteon® Platform system, the Alteon Cup offers a versatile acetabular solution designed for a range of surgical applications. It features multiple cup implant configurations and bearing options to accommodate various clinical needs. The unique TACTM porous technology supports initial and biological fixation. When paired with Advita’s XLE vitamin E polyethylene liners, this system delivers enhanced performance and long-term stability.

Alteon Acetabular Cup and XLE Liner Features and Benefits

Asymmetric Porous Coating

The TAC porous technology strikes a balance between material strength, pore size and porosity. The TAC proprietary process creates a unique 3D structural lattice of irregular shaped particles with increased average pore size and greater porosity than traditional spherical beads.1

Optimized Head/Cup Aspect Ratio

This allows one to achieve the maximum head/cup combination while still maintaining polyethene thickness.4

Vitamin E Liners

Alteon® XLE highly crosslinked vitamin E acetabular liners are designed to provide low wear while maintaining mechanical strength, reducing the free radicals, and oxidative degradation.2,3 Liners are available in Neutral, Extended Coverage, +5 Lateralized, and Face Changing configurations.

Streamlined Instrumentation

Instruments designed to complement the overall surgical workflow.

Three-Part Locking Mechanism

The Alteon Cup features a three-part locking mechanism with more than 15 years of clinical use.5 It consists of an apical tab intended to prevent liner translation and pull-out, recessed scallops intended to provide rotational control, and a fully congruent liner/shell designed to virtually eliminate micromotion.6,7
