FX obtained 510(k) clearance for the Easytech Stemless Anatomic, which according to the company is the only stemless shoulder prosthesis on the market with primary peripheral fixation. The new addition has been approved for use in Europe since 2013, and since launch in Europe, has become the primary choice of surgeons for anatomic total shoulder replacements.
"This is a very exciting addition to our comprehensive portfolio and will allow us to compete in the stemless market with a tremendous prosthesis that, with its primary peripheral fixation, should give us a competitive advantage and potentially improve patient outcomes with a bone sparing device," Baptiste Martin, CEO of FX Shoulder USA told the press.
The Easytech Anchor base’s design allows the device to fit peripherally just inside the cortical bone, where bone quality is ideal for fixation.
The Easytech Anchor base is a stemless prosthesis to treat a severely painful and/or disabled shoulder joint with a functional rotator cuff and resulting from osteoarthritis. The cementless Anchor base, available in 30 to 42mm diameters, has a main central post with striaes and five retentive striaes peripherally positioned to assist primary fixation. The Anchor base can be used with a straight taper connector or a centered spacer, a centered or offset humeral head manufactured from wrought Co-Cr-Mo alloy, TiN coated or uncoated, options are available, and a 2-pegs or 3- or 4-pegs cemented glenoid manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for use in an anatomical shoulder configuration.
