Humeral body extension prosthesis

15 devices · GMDN 60933

A humeral body extension prosthesis is a sterile, implantable component used in reverse shoulder replacement systems. It acts as a spacer between the humeral body and the glenoid cup, helping to restore proper joint mechanics and alignment in patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff deficiency.

These devices are typically made from biocompatible metals such as cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloys and are supplied as sterile implants for single-use surgical implantation. Regulatory oversight applies to the individual device based on its design, materials, and intended use, with classification determined by the relevant health authority in each market.
