Why MyShoulder?

ACCURATE POSITIONING OF THE PROSTHESIS

MyShoulder fits the anatomical shape accurately, allowing for the precise preparation of the bone to receive the prosthesis. It has been proven that an accurate positioning of the prosthesis leads to an increased survival of the implant.

 

FASTER OPERATION

The use of MyShoulder technology is very simple and straightforward. It potentially allows the surgeon to reduce the operating time, thus decreasing the time under anesthesia and the risk of infection.
