Zimmer Biomet was granted FDA 510(k) clearance to market a line extension to the existing Identity Shoulder and Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder systems with additional implant sizes and matching surgical tools to support treatment of a wider range of patient statures.
The additions to the Identity Shoulder introduce smaller tray sizes and corresponding instruments. It also includes a new Alliance Humeral Bearing with Vitamin E polyethylene designed to work with the Identity Shoulder and the Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder systems.
The modular Identity shoulder replacement system supports anatomic, reverse and revision total shoulder arthroplasty, and is designed to enable surgeons to dynamically adapt their procedure to the specific needs of the patient
“We listen closely to surgeons, and what we hear consistently is that they want to treat more patients, simplify their OR and feel confident in every case,” said Brian Hatcher, President of S.E.T. & C.M.F.T. for Zimmer Biomet. “The additions to the Identity Shoulder and Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Systems directly address all three — smaller components that extend access to more patients, a shared bearing that reduces supply complexity and a familiar workflow that surgeons can trust from day one.”
