Campaign
From pioneering to proven
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our upcoming campaign «From pioneering to proven», celebrating in 2023 the remarkable success of some of our key products. This year marks significant milestones for four of our groundbreaking products: the 40th anniversary of the RM Cup, the 25th anniversary of balanSys BICONDYLAR, the 20th anniversary of balanSys UNI, and the 15th anniversary of Affinis Fracture Inverse.
RM Pressfit
With 40 years of clinical experience, Mathys is proud to showcase the evolution of its hero product, the isoelastic, bone preserving, monoblock acetabular RM Pressfit cup. The cup's isoelasticity and RM coating places it in a class of its own, as an unmatched design that has evolved in proven steps, from a non-coated cementless PE acetabular cup to the addition of hydroxyapatite and later to its RM single titanium particle coating. The RM Pressfit vitamys cup, the latest iteration of the cup, remains unquestionably impressive after 40 years of clinical experience with this isoelastic philosophy. The ongoing excellent performance is proven by clinical results1,2.

Affinis Fracture Inverse
In the upper extremity portfolio, the Affinis Fracture Inverse, the first dedicated fracture reverse implant, is still relevant in today's market after 15 years of clinical experience. Affinis Fracture Inverse is truly pioneering in design. Its proximal calcium phosphate coated spike surface structure with suture holes, makes this design optimal for fragment fixation and encouragement of tuberosity healing7. Unlike any other reverse implants, it was designed specifically to address issues seen with the Grammont design. The inverted bearing surfaces, further evolved with vitamys, making it a reliable option for those in need of a fracture reverse implant, which consistently delivers proven clinical results8.
