What is the BIOLOX® OPTION head-and-sleeve configuration?
A femoral head-and-sleeve configuration listed as BIOLOX® OPTION. Review the exact head, sleeve and mating stem as a documented component combination.
A head-and-sleeve configuration creates interfaces that need to be reviewed together: head to sleeve and sleeve to the mating stem. The exact manufacturer-documented combination matters more than a nominal taper label. Keep the three component identifiers linked when assessing a proposed hip component supply.
Why are head and sleeve references reviewed together?
The head and sleeve perform different roles in the component connection. The sleeve interface to the stem and its pairing with the head both matter. Manufacturer-documented combinations establish the permitted assembly; a nominal taper description alone does not establish that two independently selected components can be combined.
How does a head-and-sleeve request differ from a head-only request?
A head-and-sleeve request includes a further mating component and another interface to review. Keep the exact sleeve identifier attached to the head and stem identifiers, including product origin and the relevant component instructions. The catalogue designation by itself does not establish the source of a particular supplied item.
- Head model identifier and required dimensions
- Exact sleeve identifier and the associated head pairing
- Mating stem reference and documented assembly combination
Which assembly instruments are specified?
Use the assembly instruments and instructions specified by the actual component manufacturer for the documented head, sleeve and stem combination. Identify any trials and accessories separately in the proposed supply.
- Assembly tools specified by the actual component manufacturer
- Appropriate component trials where provided
- The supplied instructions for the documented head, sleeve and stem combination
Which technical documents should buyers request?
Request the current dimensional drawing and technical specification for BIOLOX® OPTION. They should cover head and sleeve identifiers, permitted mating combinations and product origin. Document identifiers should match the implant, instrument and accessory references in your quotation.
For distributor qualification or tender review, ask for product identification, intended-use instructions, supplied condition and packaging details. Regulatory documents, material declarations and test reports should identify the offered model, manufacturer and applicable scope for the destination market.
Joint replacement FAQs
Review the size schedule, instrument scope and quotation details for BIOLOX® OPTION before preparing your product enquiry.
Which head, sleeve and stem references are needed?
Identify the head, sleeve and mating stem together, including the source of the actual offered components. Their manufacturer-documented pairing defines the assembly; a nominal taper label alone does not establish a permitted combination.
Where can I find the size range?
Request the current drawing or size schedule for BIOLOX® OPTION, with the dimensions your team needs. It should also identify the relevant component details: exact sleeve identifier and the associated head pairing.
Are instruments included?
Instrument supply is confirmed in the itemised quotation. Match the preparation, insertion or assembly tools to the selected model, then check which accessories and trays are included and which are quoted separately.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Send the exact BIOLOX® OPTION reference, required dimensions and quantities for each item. Include the component and instrument scope, destination market and documents your purchasing team needs. A model drawing or existing component list helps us identify the requested configuration.
