Total Replacement with the CONSERVE® Total BFH™ Hip Implant


CONSERVE® Total X-ray

This third offering within LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ is the first true, primary hip replacement implanted in the patient's body.

Most traditional total hip implants are made of plastic-on-metal components. However, with the improved wear characteristics of metal-on-metal bearings, the CONSERVE® Total BFH™ hip is expected to last much longer.

CONSERVE® Total Design
The CONSERVE® Total Hip utilizes the same BFH™ Technology as the CONSERVE® PLUS implant. Thus, the same benefits of large diameter metal-on-metal bearings are maintained. The result of this increased femoral head diameter is an anatomically-sized femoral head with a significantly larger dislocation "jump distance."

With BFH™ Technology, dislocation "jump distance" reaches 24mm, as compared to 16mm for more traditional femoral head sizes. Thus, the BFH™ implant must travel a greater distance to dislocate - a distance that is so much greater, that the chance of dislocation is greatly reduced.4
