US market

Hip implant manufacturers in the United States

These companies market total hip replacement systems in the US. Most hip implants reach the market through FDA 510(k) clearance as Class II devices, which is why you'll usually see "FDA cleared" rather than "FDA approved." Clearance means a device is substantially equivalent to an existing one, not that it performs better.

Listed alphabetically. Compiled November 2026 from company pages, FDA records and press releases linked on each card. No company pays to be listed. This list may not be complete and product lines change, so confirm current status in the FDA 510(k) database.
