Stryker Launches Insignia Hip Stem in India

This device aims to improve patient outcomes and streamline surgical processes in total hip and hemiarthroplasty procedures.

Stryker, a global medical device manufacturer, has launched the Insignia Hip Stem in India. This device aims to improve patient outcomes and streamline surgical processes in total hip and hemiarthroplasty procedures.

The Insignia Hip Stem is compatible with Stryker’s Mako SmartRobotics™ platform, which uses Total Hip 4.1 software to provide a personalized surgical experience. This system incorporates data from a 3D CT-based plan, enabling surgeons to adapt effectively to each patient’s unique anatomy.

The Insignia Hip Stem is its Tri-Stage Broach, which incorporates three distinct tooth geometries, size-specific collar lengths, and a broad range of femoral offsets. These elements aim to enhance fit and function across varying femoral morphologies.

Aman Rishi, Vice President and General Manager, Stryker-India, said, “The Insignia Hip Stem implant in India, a collared, metaphyseal-filling hip stem, complements our primary hip portfolio. With its compatibility with Mako SmartRobotics™ and design based on SOMA technology, Insignia delivers a truly personalized approach to hip replacement through patient-specific fit, function, and flexibility, allowing surgeons to improve patient outcomes.”

The device has been engineered with a low-profile shoulder, short stem lengths, and distal relief to aid in lateralization and insertion. These design elements are intended to facilitate the surgeon’s workflow and effectively address diverse surgical challenges.
