Shoulder humeral body prosthesis

A shoulder humeral body prosthesis is a sterile, implantable component designed to connect the humeral stem and humeral head in a modular total shoulder replacement system. It serves as the intermediate structural element that enables articulation and load transfer between the stem fixed in the humerus and the prosthetic head that replaces the natural joint surface.

These devices are typically manufactured from biocompatible metals such as cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloys or titanium and are supplied as sterile, single-use implants intended for use in surgical shoulder arthroplasty procedures. They are regulated as implantable medical devices and are subject to conformity assessment requirements based on their intended use and materials, without inherent classification as reusable or medicated.
