Unique Implants
For Unique Patients
As part of the German LINK family company, customLINK creates dependable individual solutions that go beyond the successful standard primary or revision implant systems. Such as the LINK MP Hip Reconstruction Prosthesis, LINK Endo-Model Knee or LINK MEGASYSTEM-C Modular Tumor and Revision systems.
LINK has designed and manufactured orthopedic devices since 1948, with the first custom device produced in the late 1960s.
Since then over 35,000 custom devices have been made, each with thorough documentation stored in our large archive making them completely retraceable at any time. Based on years of professional experience, customLINK finds effective solutions for every unique inquiry.
Order Process
In close collaboration with the surgeon, customLINK experts develop and design patient individual solutions which are manufactured in-house in the Hamburg area, all made in Germany.
Implants are commonly delivered sterile packaged. From official surgeon approval until delivery usually takes not more than 4 weeks.
