La cupule Maxera fournit une option céramique-céramique compatible avec les têtes de grand diamètre pour les patients les plus jeunes et les plus actifs. Elle possède un design hémisphérique établi^8,11,12 qui fournit une stabilité accrue^2–6en utilisant une technique chirurgicale connue.  La cupule Maxera fournit aux chirurgiens un système offrant une grande amplitude de mouvement^1,2 et un couple de frottement à faible taux d’usure^7–9 afin de permettre aux patients de retrouver leur style de vie actif.
