Wright Medical Introduces LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™,
the CONSERVE® Family of Implants

Conserve as much bone as possible. That has been Wright’s goal in designing the CONSERVE® Family of Implants, which work together to provide a bone conserving, minimally invasive approach to hip resurfacing and hip replacement. Also known as LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™, this plan offers patients a lifetime plan of treatment for their hip pain.

The first offering in Wright’s LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ is a simple, partial hip resurfacing procedure performed with the CONSERVE® Partial Resurfacing Implant. This procedure preserves the femoral head and neck and does not invade the femoral canal. In addition, the acetabulum is left completely intact.

The second offering in Wright’s LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ plan is a total hip resurfacing procedure using the CONSERVE® PLUS Total Resurfacing Implant. Coupled with BFH™ Technology, the two provide a minimally invasive hip procedure that offers excellent stability. By retaining the femoral head and neck and not invading the femoral canal, this procedure helps preserve the patient's natural motion in the joint. The CONSERVE® PLUS Total Resurfacing Implant is not approved for use in the U.S.

The third offering within LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ is the first true, primary hip replacement implanted in the patient’s body. The CONSERVE® Total Hip with BFH™ Technology mimics the natural kinematics of the hip by replacing the body’s natural head with a large diameter femoral head implant. The result of this increased femoral head diameter is a reduction in the chance of dislocation.

At Wright, we are committed to developing technologies that will preserve a patient’s bone stock over many years. That’s why we are the only orthopaedic company to offer this three-tiered solution for the surgical treatment of hip pain.

Only a doctor can say whether or not a person is a candidate for one of these three tiers. To learn more about each CONSERVE® product, click on any of the associated links above. To see if one of these options is right for you, locate a physician in your area by using our Physician Locator.
