The PyroTITAN Humeral Resurfacing Arthroplasty System is the first commercially-available, human shoulder arthroplasty prosthesis made of PyroCarbon. Available in twelve sizes, PyroTITAN is intended to address glenohumeral joint disease due to non-inflammatory, inflammatory and post traumatic arthritis by replacing the damaged humeral head bearing surface and restoring patient anatomy while preserving bone. This system provides size-specific, color-coded, cannulated instrumentation for ease of use and reproducibility.
"We are very excited about the addition of the PyroTITAN Humeral Resurfacing Arthroplasty System. This first commercially-available PyroCarbon implant for shoulder arthroplasty demonstrates the company's leadership role in extremity orthopedics. It also underscores our commitment to pioneer applications of PyroCarbon to address the challenges faced by our surgeons and the specific needs of their patients with joint disease," states Guy Mayer, CEO.
Ascension's commitment to PyroCarbon technology is based on the material's enhanced wear resistance and biocompatibility against native bone and cartilage; and its clinical survivorship compared to other bearing surfaces s...
