Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System

Stem for Fractures and Degenerative Conditions
The Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System aims to restore glenohumeral kinematics, fractures, and degenerative cases.  The Epoca implant facilitates anatomic reconstruction of the proximal humerus and respects important anatomical variables such as the dimension and the relative position of the head to the stem.  The humeral implant consists of three components: stem, eccenter, and head.  The components and sizes can be independently combined and positioned relative to one another to reconstruct the functional kinematics of the glenohumeral joint.

Key Features & Benefits

Head

  • Height proportional to radius
  • Anatomic design
  • Can be adjusted for medial and posterior fit

Eccenter

  • Allows medial and posterior offset adjustments
  • Independent adjustment of the head vs. shaft
  • Press-fit assembly outside the patient

Stem

  • Anatomic design mimics contour of the medial calcar and medullary canal
  • Cemented and press-fit option
  • Non-protruding lateral design reduces risk of damage to the insertion facet of the  supraspinatus tendon
  • Rotational stability
  • Medial and lateral holes in the stem allow for stable reattachment of the tuberosities
  • Available in a variety of diameters and lengths.
