Mako Shoulder
Mako means more
Now specialized for the shoulder
We're taking Mako to higher places—the shoulder. By adding Tornier® implants and Blueprint® 3D planning, we're elevating the reverse shoulder replacement surgery* experience.
*Primary joint replacement
Purposely innovative.
Powerfully integrated.
Mako means more for the future of the shoulder.
Introducing Mako Shoulder*, the powerful and innovative integration of Mako, Tornier and Blueprint.
*Mako Shoulder is currently available only in the UK and Ireland through a limited market release.
Preoperative planning features
Blueprint 3D preoperative planning and Tornier Perform Reversed implants
Intraoperative features
Haptically guided reverse shoulder glenoid implant preparation for primary joint replacement, including the glenoid surface, boss and post/screw
AccuStop™ haptic technology
Leverages AccuStop haptic technology to create a virtual boundary that assists the surgeon in executing glenoid resection to plan
Blueprint preoperative planning
Discover the power of planning
Blueprint allows surgeons to virtually plan and simulate surgery on a personalized 3D shoulder model prior to stepping foot in the OR.1
Leading orthopaedic teams trust Blueprint with over 250k case plans globally2
Blueprint provides the necessary tools to help surgeons visualize patient anatomy, anticipate intraoperative challenges and evaluate the range of implant types that could be used.3,4 Blueprint automatically creates the virtual implantation environment, enabling convenient planning without the wait.*
*For Blueprint primary planning only. Manual segmentation required for Revision Planning.
Tornier Perform™ Reversed Glenoid and Reversed Augmented Glenoid
Designed for control in reverse shoulder arthroplasty cases
Tornier Perform Reversed Glenoid was developed to address cuff tear arthropathy and osteoarthritis and was designed to address all glenoid bone loss classifications from Walch and Sirveaux.5,6
Mako Shoulder bench top study
Improved accuracy
A bench top study using anatomic bone models demonstrated that glenoid preparation using a robotic arm end-effector burr and haptic boundaries was significantly better in its ability to execute a preoperatively planned implant position than manual preparation.7
