• Size: 28mm

The 2055‑16‑000 Trial Retaining Clip is a crucial aid within the Modular Cathcart trial system, enabling precise and secure evaluation of the SELF‑CENTERING™ Bipolar trial heads. When a surgeon places the trial components—liner, shell, and head—onto the femoral stem during hip arthroplasty, this clip locks the shell in place. Its self-centering design helps maintain component alignment, reducing intraoperative adjustments and improving trial accuracy.

Crafted with orthopedic precision, this retaining clip is dimensioned specifically for 28 mm trial assemblies, matching the internal geometry and snap-fit requirement of the standard Bipolar shell. Its compatibility with Modular Cathcart components ensures it balances stabilization needs without compromising the meticulously engineered retention mechanism of the trial head and liner.

By facilitating secure and repeatable trial positioning, the 2055‑16‑000 clip supports surgeon confidence in selecting optimal implant sizes and configurations. Its role—though seemingly small—is integral to verifying range-of-motion, joint stability, and leg length before final implantation. Compact yet reliably designed, it contributes to streamlined workflows and safer, more effective outcomes during hip replacement surgery.
