Exactech receives FDA clearance for hip replacement polyethylene liners — 3 insights

Spinal Tech

Exactech received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the Novation XLE Vitamin E acetabular polyethylene liners for hip replacement surgery.

Here are three things to know.

1. These liners are designed with the Novation Crown Cup Acetabular System including InteGrip printed, 3-D porous material.

2. The material in the new XLE liners is designed for low wear and contains vitamin E, since oxidation in-vivo can contribute to polyethylene degradation in orthopedic implant polyethylene. Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant and is blended into the Novation XLE liners to mitigate the effects of oxidation pre- and post-implantation.

3. This offering is part of Exactech's Hip product family, which also includes the Alteon HA Femoral Stem, Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem, Neck Preserving Stem and Monobloc Revision Stem.
