Meril Launches HALO Stem and Latitud Revision Cup
Meril Life Sciences has introduced two devices used in hip replacement surgery.
One is called the HALO Stem, and the other is called the Latitud Revision Cup.
They are meant to help doctors rebuild the hip more closely to a patient’s anatomy.
The company says the devices were designed using studies of Indian and Asian patients.
This is important because body shapes can differ between populations.
The HALO Stem is designed to fit securely inside the thigh bone.
The Latitud Cup is designed to help when the hip socket has damaged or missing bone.
Surgeons quoted in the announcement said the devices may provide more flexibility and predictable positioning during difficult operations.
Meril Life Sciences launched the HALO Stem and Latitud Revision Acetabular Cup System for total hip arthroplasty.
The implants were developed to support anatomical reconstruction, stable fixation and consistent positioning.
Meril said the designs address anatomical features common among Indian and Asian patients, including narrower canals and smaller pelvic profiles.
The HALO Stem includes a 135° neck angle, ribbed geometry, extended ribs and polished surfaces for insertion and fixation.
The Latitud Revision Cup is intended to help surgeons manage acetabular bone loss, Paprosky defects and narrow pelvic structures.
