BioBall® in the UK
In orthopaedics, only a handful of products rise above the marketing noise.
BioBall® is one of these.
WG Healthcare launched BioBall® in the UK in 2008.
A unique solution for revision and difficult primary hip arthroplasty.
What a difference it made to patients where their stem was well fixed.
Game-changing.
We let it go in 2013.
We all make bad decisions.
But at least now we have it back.
Our aim? BioBall® is available at every revision hip surgery in the UK.
Minimising surgical time & impact. Flexibility for optimal implant placement.
Happy surgeons. Happy patients

WG Medical
Experts in Orthopaedics.
Not cardiac. Not general. Not neuro.
We don’t try to be good at everything.
We do one thing. Orthopaedics. And we do it well.
Each day, we turn up and deliver old-fashioned service.
The best we know how.
27 years of experience helps.
As does supplying a product that moves the dial.
Stripped back, our pleasure comes from giving the best-in-class service.
And delivering positive patient outcomes.
That’s our reward.
