Designed by Dr. Laurent Lafosse , the system offers uniquely designed instruments and implants for both BRISTOW as well as LATARJET procedures. The system is also specifically designed for either "open" or to transi-tion to an "all arthroscopic" technique.

GLOBAL® ADVANTAGE®  Shoulder Arthroplasty System

DePuy has combined innovative science and simple instrumentation with the GLOBAL® Shoulder's nearly two decades of clinical success to bring you the GLOBAL® ADVANTAGE® Shoulder Arthroplasty System. The GLOBAL® ADVANTAGE® Shoulder is the only third-generation system that brings together a proximal-filling humeral body and low profile standard and eccentric humeral head options with easy to use instruments.

Indications
The VIPER® 2 Spine Systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

The VIPER 2 Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

When used in a posterior percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation, the VIPER2 System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the VIPER 2 System is indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The VIPER 2 System is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

Contraindications
Disease conditions that have been shown to be safely and predictably managed without the use of internal fixation devices are relative contraindications to the use of these devices. Active systemic infection or infection localized to the site of the proposed implantation are contraindications to implantation. Severe osteoporosis is a relative contraindication because it may prevent adequate fixation of spinal anchors and thus preclude the use of this or any other spinal instrumentation system. Any entity or condition that totally precludes the possibility of fusion, i.e., cancer, kidney dialysis, or osteopenia is a relative contraindication. Other relative contraindications include obesity, certain degenerative diseases, and foreign body sensitivity. In addition, the patient’s occupation or activity level or mental capacity may be relative contraindications to this surgery. Specifically, patients who because of their occupation or lifestyle, or because of conditions such as mental illness, alcoholism, or drug abuse, may place undue stresses on the implant during bony healing and may be at higher risk for implant failure.
