Regenerex™ RingLoc®+ Modular Acetabular System

Proven RingLoc® Locking Mechanism

• The proprietary RingLoc® locking mechanism has ranked highest in push-out and lever-out strength and lowest in micromotion among competitive systems in independent laboratory testing(1-4)
• Unparalleled locking mechanism allows for removal of the liner and helps prevent liner dislocation*
• Designed for use with polyethylene, including E-Poly™ HXLPE for the optimum combination of stability, fixation and low wear

Porous Metal Technology

• Regenerex™ Porous Titanium Construct combines a clinically proven material with technology that provides optimal pore structure for rapid ingrowth, initial stability, strength and flexibility
• Demonstrated initial fixation as early as two weeks(5-6)
• Extremely biocompatible(7) material that maintains a strong construct without increasing the stiffness of the implant

Next Generation Cup Features

• Extended rim to help prevent soft tissue impingement
• Large dome hole for ease of insertion
• Maximum congruency at the liner-to-shell interface to help minimize micromotion
• Upgraded, easy to use instrumentation for intraoperative flexibility
• Multiple liner configurations
• Ultra-low wear with large heads(5)

For revision surgery, the Regenerex™ RingLoc®+ Modular Acetabular System offers:

• Maximum dislocation resistance and improved range of motion when combined with Biomet's Freedom® constrained liner for patients with high dislocation risk
• 12 augment options to address complex acetabular reconstruction
• Multiple screw hole options for maximized stability

* Any time the liner is removed, it is recommended that the locking ring be removed and replaced with a new one. If the liner is damaged in any way, a new liner should be utilized.
