Biomet Inc. announced the launch of the Comprehensive Nano shoulder at the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and the Elbow annual meeting.
Developed based on the clinical heritage of the Biomet T.E.S.S stemless shoulder, the Comprehensive Nano shoulder allows the surgeon to fit the implant to each individual patient by reproducing native humeral head version and inclination with its bone conserving shoulder design. According to a company press release, it is the first stemless device to provide surgeons with intra-operative flexibility, and allows for conversion from a Comprehensive Nano hemi-arthroplasty to a reverse or total shoulder arthroplasty using the same core instruments and without removal of the humeral component. The Nano shoulder is compatible with all configurations of the Comprehensive shoulder system.
“The Comprehensive Nano shoulder allows Biomet to build on the strong position we have established in stemless shoulder arthroplasty with the T.E.S.S. shoulder, the pioneering design in Europe,” Renaat Vermeulen, president of Biomet EMEA, stated in the release. “The Comprehensive Nano shoulder will provide surgeons and patients with a truly second generation stemless shoulder with an unmatched clinical heritage and intra-operative flexibility to help surgeons deliver the optimal treatment to each patient.”
