A reverse shoulder prosthesis base plate is a metal component designed to be securely fixed to the scapula (shoulder blade) using screws. It forms the stable foundation onto which the reverse shoulder’s glenosphere (ball-like component) attaches, enabling improved shoulder mechanics for patients with severe arthritis or rotator cuff tears.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring pre-market approval or conformity assessment depending on the jurisdiction. They are supplied sterile and intended for single-use in orthopedic surgeries, with variations in material (e.g., titanium, cobalt-chrome) to suit different clinical needs.
