Documented sizes and variants

The current product table lists 28 and 32 mm for ELEC®. ELEC®plus covers 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 mm. S, M, L and, for selected diameters, XL neck lengths are documented. Binding selection depends on the approved system documentation.

System integration and documentation

The femoral head, taper and counter-bearing must be evaluated as an approved system combination. OEM partners receive project-specific specifications; available customer information, certificates and quality documents are provided in the download area.

Professional and colloquial terminology

Ceramic femoral head is the professional component name. Search terms such as ceramic hip head or ceramic hip ball may refer to the same component but do not replace the technical designation.

Frequently asked professional questions
