GLOBAL UNITE™ Shoulder System 

GLOBAL UNITE™ Shoulder System 

The GLOBAL UNITE Platform Shoulder Arthroplasty System, a modular shoulder system that provides surgeons adaptability within the Operating Room without compromising recognised biomechanical principles.

In the event that the patient’s pathology indicates that a GLOBAL UNITE System conversion to a reverse shoulder is required for patients with a grossly deficient rotator cuff, the conversion can be accommodated without compromising biomechanics. Removal of the proximal body makes provision for the epiphysis to be attached to a well-fixed distal stem within the humerus at the proper height and version to optimise deltoid function.1

Features & Benefits

Distal Stem

  • Proximally porous-coated titanium alloy stems
  • Sizes 6 – 16mm
  • Standard and long lengths

Modularity

  • Ability to convert to DELTA XTEND™ without compromising the biomechanics of the reverse shoulder in patients with a grossly deficient rotator cuff
  • Converts to DELTA XTEND

Flexibility

  • 3 proximal body heights in sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16
  • Ability to match the most suitable proximal body with any stem

Stability

  • POROCOAT™ Porous Coating to facilitate bone integration
  • Suture collar facilitates tuberosity positioning and fixation

Proximal Bodies

  • Porous coated bodies available in 4 sizes (10, 12, 14, 16) that can be mixed and matched across all stem sizes to allow the surgeon flexibility in treating the fracture
  • All body sizes are available in 3 height configurations (-5, -0, +5) designed to allow proper anatomic restoration of the tuberosities when the distal stem is used in a press-fit configuration

Modular Suture Collars

  • Modular suture collars allow the anatomic placement of the tuberosities and suture fixation

Conversion to Reverse Total Shoulder

  • GLOBAL UNITE System allows conversion to a Reverse Total Shoulder Prosthesis through the removal of the proximal body and use of DELTA XTEND Epiphyseal and Glenoid Components in patients with a grossly deficient rotator cuff
