Femoral Cap
Attached to the top of the femoral stem, a femoral cap must be machined to size and then polished to reduce the wear of the socket liner, ensuring maximum life of the implant. Often machined from cobalt chrome bar stock, the component demands high tolerances and surface quality. CBN inserts can provide a substantial advantage in meeting these challenges.
