Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Showcase Platform
Our shoulder arthroplasty platform demonstrates how advanced planning capabilities support clinical decision-making across the full surgical workflow.
It serves as a reference implementation, showcasing a robust clinical foundation that can be adapted to different implant strategies and surgical approaches.
Technical Excellence in clinical planning
More than a product, a platform built around your specifications
We design and develop planning platforms tailored to your implant portfolio, your surgical philosophy, and your clinical objectives, adapting tools, workflows, and planning rules to the way you want them to work.
Clinical planning, illustrated
Full 3D visualization
A high-fidelity 3D environment reconstructed from patient CT data allows surgeons to explore shoulder anatomy intuitively.
Built on clinical foundations, designed to scale
These clinical capabilities form the foundation of a scalable platform designed for implant manufacturers.
With production facilities in Europe and the United States, and established regulatory expertise, we support partners across the full product lifecycle:
Custom platform configuration aligned with implant portfolios
Scalable manufacturing of patient-specific instrumentation
Regulatory support (CE marking, FDA 510(k))
End-to-end collaboration from concept to clinical deployment
Patient-Specific Surgical Guides – Precision That Reaches the OR
From planning decisions to operative execution
Designed directly from patient-specific anatomical data, patient-specific surgical guides translate the preoperative plan into the operating room with consistency and control. Developed as an extension of the planning platform, they support reliable execution even in complex anatomical situations. Unlike approaches limited to a single joint component, our solution enables guidance for both the glenoid and the humerus, maintaining continuity between planning strategy and surgical action.
Dual-sided guidance: glenoid + humerus
Specific guides are designed for both joint components, supporting coordinated implant positioning and bone preparation within a single workflow.
Stable, anatomical fit
Multiple bone contact points on both the glenoid and humerus provide stable seating and reproducible alignment during guide placement.

Integrated pin and screw trajectories
Pin and screw trajectories are directly integrated into the guide design, helping ensure placement accuracy while reducing intraoperative variability.

Humeral cutting slots
Captured or planar cutting slots reflect the preoperative plan and remain compatible with standard 1.27 mm OR saw blades.

Compatible with all major techniques
Guide designs support anatomic, stemless, stemmed, and reverse approaches, adapting to different surgical philosophies and implant strategies.
Fast and localized manufacturing
With production facilities in Europe and the United States, we support short lead times and reliable delivery, even for urgent or complex cases ensuring that planning decisions can be translated into surgery without unnecessary delay.
