STRYKER RECEIVES FDA 510(K) CLEARANCE FOR ITS LFIT ANATOMIC FEMORAL HEADS WITH X3 POLYETHYLENE LINERS

Stryker Corporation's Orthopaedics division has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its advanced bearing system, LFIT Anatomic Femoral Heads with X3 Polyethylene liners. A significant advancement in hip bearing technology, the new implant system combines Stryker's Low Friction Ion Treatment (LFIT) technology with Stryker's X3 advanced bearing technology and is anatomically sized for more natural hip performance. The result is total hip replacement designed to help minimize dislocation and its associated healthcare costs, while providing an attractive alternative to metal on metal bearings.
