Corin wins FDA clearance for new femoral stem

Corin announced that it received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Icona femoral stem implant for total hip arthroplasty (THA).

This clearance comes just one month after Corin won FDA clearance for its Unity Knee medial constrained (MC) tibial insert. That implant helps independently stabilize the medial compartment during a standard or robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Cirencester, UK-based Corin — which has its U.S. base in Raynham, Massachusetts — designed Icona using comprehensive data from the CorinRegistry. The company says it represents a significant addition to its portfolio of proven implants for THA.

Corin developed the collared, metaphyseal-filling, triple-taper stem for efficient, reproducible canal preparation and ease of insertion during muscle-sparing approaches. Key features include a reduced proximal lateral shoulder, a swept distal tip and a 15-degree angled insertion feature.
