Product
Ovation Hip Stem, REF 201-0103, Offset Stem Inserter LT, Non-Sterile, Ortho Development, Draper, Utah 84020. The Ovation Hip System is intended for use in total hip arthroplasty. The hip stem inserter is an instrument used to seat the hip stem in the femur. There is a notch in the top of the hip stem, and the hip stem inserter has a corresponding tip at the end of the instrument. The tip of the inserter is designed to fit into the notch of the hip stem, as a guide. Once this is inserted, the surgeon will tap on the opposite end of the inserter with a hammer to seat the press-fitted stem assembly.
