Maxera™ Cup

The Maxera Cup provides a large-head, ceramic-on-ceramic option for the younger and more active patient. The cup is an established hemispherical design8,11,12 that provides increased stability2–6 with a familiar surgical technique. The Maxera Cup presents orthopaedic surgeons with a system that offers high range of motion 1, 2 and a low-wear7–9 bearing to better enable the restoration of a patient’s active lifestyle.
