Pioneering total hip replacement

A hip for life

Introducing The MaltaHip

Ultra-low-wear, whole-life total hip replacement

The MaltaHip is a novel hip replacement that is designed to be strong and durable, whilst also offering a high degree of flexibility which gives patients increased mobility on their road to recovery.

Innovative design

The award winning MaltaHip exhibits drastically reduced wear due to its innovative design. Once assembled and implanted, it is not possible to disengage the components within normal ranges of motion. This significantly reduces the risk of dislocation.

Clinically proven material

The MaltaHip is made of recognised materials that are commonly used in clinical practice. Furthermore, no surface treatments or post-processing treatments are required to enhance wear resistance.

Wider range of movement

The MaltaHip is designed to allow motion over three independent axes, enabling a wider range of motion than is possible with currently available hip prosthesis designs. The point contact between the ball and socket in classic hip prosthesis is replaced with larger contact areas resulting in lower contact stresses

Garland Surgical

The name ‘Garland Surgical’ takes it’s inspiration from a yoga pose called ‘Malasana’ or ‘Garland Pose.’ It is yoga’s deep squat which opens the hips and groin as it stretches and strengthens the feet and ankles.

Our proprietary product, the MaltaHip is designed to be strong and durable, whilst also offering a high degree of flexibility which gives patients increased mobility on their road to recovery.

Our team have over 80 years combined experience in the medtech sector. We make things happen at pace, and in the right way to ensure our primary focus is that of patient safety and design excellence

Award winning design

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, invests up to £25 million in the best game-changing and world-leading ideas, designed for swift, successful commercialisation. Ideas need to be genuinely new.

The Innovate UK Smart grant has focused scope and eligibility criteria to support SMEs and their partners develop disruptive innovations with significant potential for rapid economic return to the UK. The application process reflects the importance of obtaining economic benefits from public funding, and the potential for successful commercialisation, growth, and exports.

Proposals must be business focused, with deliverable, realistic, adequately resourced plans to achieve return on investment, growth and market share following project completion.

Applications can come from any area of technology and be applied to any part of the economy.

Less than 10% of applicants are successful in their bid for the award and we are proud to say we are in that elite group!

Sustainability

Contemporary ball-and-socket total hip replacement prostheses last for approximately 10-25 years, meaning some patients may undergo the procedure multiple times in their lives.

The MaltaHip implant is designed to have an enhanced lifespan and functionality, which means that patients may only need to have one surgery in their lifetime. This will result in an overall reduction in total hip replacement procedures, and consequently a reduction in hospital carbon emissions.
