Patent

CA 2208744

A plug is provided for use with a specially bored acetabular cup which thoroughly prevents debris (e.g. polymeric debris) from getting through any hole(s) in the cup and which is removable from the cup if desired. The plug is metal and acts with the hole in a compression fit relationship. A method for preventing debris from passing through a hole in an acetabular cup and into a patient's body is also given.

La présente invention concerne un bouchon destiné à l'utilisation avec une cupule acétabulaire pourvue d'un alésage spécial. Ce bouchon permet d'éviter que des débris (par exemple des débris polymères) ne pénètrent à travers un quelconque trou de la cupule et il peut être retiré de la cupule, si nécessaire. Ce bouchon est en métal et il s'adapte au trou grâce à la pression réciproque exercée entre trou et bouchon. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant d'éviter que des débris ne passent à travers un trou de cupule acétabulaire et ne pénètrent à l'intérieur du corps d'un patient.
