Lima Corporate, an Italian medical device company located in San Daniele del Friuli, Udine, reports that it has installed 100, 000 of its C2 Hip Stems since the product was launched. This puts the company on track to install more than 40, 000 implants of the entire Hip Femoral Prosthesis line by the end of 2014.
Professor Cremonese of the Ospedale di Cittadella, in Padua, Italy, designed the C2 Hip Stem which, according to the company, has since become an integral part of the Lima Corporate Total Hip Arthroplasty solutions. Officials report that the firm is strongly committed to internationalization.
