Fem-Lock

Femoral Plug

Fem-Lock is a femoral plug aimed at occluding the femur medullary cavity before the introduction of acrylic cement during hip prosthesis surgeries.

This device has a unique fin and outer diameter design to fit comfortably in any situation by improving the adaptation to the femoral canal.

The external diameter and fin geometry are specifically designed to adapt to the femoral canal, effectively preventing cement leakage into the distal canal.

The radiopaque steel marker ensures radiographic visibility of the femoral plug.
