Shoulder Innovations Releases New Humeral Stem Implant

Shoulder Innovations Inc. has expanded its I-Series humeral stem product line with the launch of the InSet 70 Humeral Stem. The I-Series lineup first debuted last year with the InSet 95 humeral stem’s release.

“The InSet 70 complements our portfolio of shoulder implant solutions, and we are excited to bring it to market across the United States ahead of schedule,” Shoulder Innovations CEO Rob Ball stated. “SI has a strong history of innovation, and the InSet 70 is another example of new technology designed to enhance the quality of care for patients and provide meaningful value to the surgeons who care for them. We look forward to seeing improved patient outcomes and long-term function with this implant.”

Indicated for use in both anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the InSet 70 addresses a range of clinical needs, including non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, rheumatoid and traumatic arthritis, and functional deformity correction. In reverse procedures, it is further indicated for irreparable cuff tears with or without arthritis, as well as for revision of other devices when sufficient bone stock remains.

“Featuring the same initial fixation and simple workflow as the longer InSet 95, the InSet 70 offers the added benefit of bone-sparing utility, making it a compelling offering in the shoulder care space,” said Galen Kam, M.D. “Essentially, this product affords all the advantages of a larger stem in a smaller, bone-preserving form factor.”

“The InSet 70 provides my patients with superb humeral fixation within the reverse total shoulder platform, delivering optimized biomechanics and supporting improved shoulder function,” Matthew Pifer, M.D., added.
