LEADING
THE FIELD IN
GLENOID POSITIONING
Introducing
The Glenoid Positioning Guide
Aventum Devices has a patented prototype of the Glenoid Positioning Guide (GPG) that assists the surgeon in the positioning of the glenoid component for Total Anatomic and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty. We have direct evidence that this GPG provides at least equivalent results to Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI) without all the drawbacks; while providing a much better overall usability experience.
The Glenoid Positioning Guide (GPG)
It is a surgical instrument for positioning a K-wire into the glenoid vault, providing the maximum bone axis of the vault together with the non-eroded version, inclination, rotation and offset of the pre-eroded glenoid.
This GPG is a re-sterilised surgical device that can be adjusted to fit any company's shoulder prosthesis box set. It is a pair of arms forming a clamp, fixing on both anterior and posterior aspect of the glenoid vault with grips adjusting to the complex geometry of the outer vault.
Patents Granted Australia, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Russia, UK, USA, Brazil, India
Advantages of the GPG
- Laboratory results are equivalent if not improved
- Positioning of the clamp is peri-operatively much easier with better usability
- Instrument can be re-sterilised and placed in any company simple box set
- Positioning of the glenoid prosthesis is performed during the procedure; no compulsory need for pre-operative planning, i.e. no extra time for the surgeon
- Avoids downside of PSI: time-consuming & steep learning curve, complicated set-up, difficult usability, requires qualified support, expensive
