Additional Information for Humeral Implant Stem
Humeral implant stems are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace the upper part of the arm bone (humerus) in patients with severe shoulder joint damage or fractures. These stems are part of a larger humeral implant system that includes other components such as the humeral head and glenoid component.
The humeral implant stem is designed to be inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus bone, providing stability and support for the artificial joint. It is typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloy, which are known for their strength and compatibility with the human body.
The humeral implant stem is available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. Surgeons select the appropriate stem based on factors such as the patient's bone quality, size, and the specific surgical technique being used.
These implants are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification helps healthcare providers and suppliers identify and categorize the products for procurement and inventory management purposes.
It's important to note that the use of humeral implant stems and other orthopedic implants should be performed by trained medical professionals and in accordance with established surgical techniques and guidelines.
