The modular femoral heads for hip prostheses are available in the diameter of 22.2, 28, 32 and 36, and are provided with the standard 12/14 Morse taper.

Materials manufacturing range offers a full option of choices completed by stainless steels like AISI316L, M30NW, by CoCrMo and by ceramic with Biolox®Forte and as forefront of material science, the innovative Biolox®Delta.

The femoral head tapers are produced with high-precision numerical control machines, which have a very narrow tolerances as regards conicity, roundness and straightness.

All these factors are simultaneously controlled through pneumatic readings by appropriately designed sophisticated measuring instruments so as to prevent any possible error which would cause fretting, corrosion and, in the case of ceramic heads, failure.

Nowadays Lima-Lto can offer the best since technologies engineering, in combination with material innovation and in a full option of diameters and sizes from first implant to revision.

As a feather in one’s cap, the Biolox®Delta capabilities, whose Lima-Lto is the fi rst company in the world promoting the hip surgical applications by offering an acetabuluar system unique of its kind, totally innovating and extremely reliable.

A specific metal sleeve taper (Ti6Al4V) has been designed to be interposed between an head of Biolox®Delta and a femoral coupling cone, assuring a safe selflocking connection and between the stem and the head.

The strength of Biolox®Delta allows the extra-length sizes for heads of 28, 32, 36.
