Vista, Calif.-based DJO Global announced a new stemless shoulder device in a Sept. 30 press release.
The AltiVate Anatomic CS Edge Shoulder System is designed to spare more bone and be less invasive than traditional shoulder stems, the statement said. Its design is based on a humeral fit analysis and has a canal-sparing, three-fin humeral stem with serrated fin tips so surgeons can use the implant to cut into the bone.
"Our goal is to continue to drive innovation and bring market-leading products to patients; the addition of AltiVate Anatomic CS EDGE delivers the next advancement in our shoulder solutions portfolio," Louis Vogt, vice president of sales and marketing at DJO Surgical, said in a statement. "With the growing active patient population, the CS EDGE offers a unique bone-conserving solution to surgeons to address the needs of their anatomic arthroplasty patients."
