The Biotech BMS Shoulder System has been designed to take into account the latest advances in the evolution of prosthetic systems for shoulder replacement; primary, revision, total, reverse or hemiarthroplasty and trauma prosthesis. The fenestration of the stem allows better healing of the tubercular fragments and hereby provides the appropriate function of the rotator cuff. The Biotech BMS Shoulder System is modular and incorporates a comprehensive range of implants, it offers the unique feature of a posterior offset head which can be indexed to achieve maximal coverage of the cut humeral head surface and a large joint surface area- These choices allow better restoration of normal humeral head shape and size, factors which are important in the tensioning of the soft tissues, providing maximum possible function.
The System Comprises:
• 4 Humeral Stem sizes (6, 8, 10 ,12 mm) and 4 Revision Stems (6, 8, 10, 12 x 190 mm) for use with and without cement
• Modular Heads of 36 x 14 mm, 38 x 15 mm, 40 mm spherical diameter in 2 head heights (12 and 15), 44 mm spherical diameter in 3 head heights (17, 20 and 22) and 48 mm spherical diameter in 5 head heights (17, 20, 22, 25 and 28)
• Cementless and Cemented Glenoid components
The Biotech Shoulder System has been designed for implantation entirely without cement using a low profile screw anchored porous coated shell with the option of a 3 mm liner.
The Biotech BMS Shoulder Arthroplasty System incorporates a range of 4 humeral stems, which have been used in clinical trials over a five-year period.
