A humeral head spacer is a modular implant used in total shoulder replacement surgery to maintain proper alignment between the humeral body and head. These spacers, typically made of metal like cobalt-chrome or titanium, are inserted between components to ensure correct varus/valgus positioning during reconstruction.
These devices are generally classified as implants and subject to regulatory oversight based on their risk profile and intended use. They are typically supplied sterile and as part of a modular shoulder prosthesis system, requiring precise surgical application by trained professionals.
