Stryker announced successful completion of the first case in the United States, since its De Novo clearance, using the Tornier Pyrocarbon Humeral Head. Stryker’s De Novo request was granted in late 2022 after completing an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study with FDA.
Pyrocarbon is an advanced bearing material that is claimed to have surface properties more similar to bone than traditional orthopedic metallic bearing surfaces. It has been utilized internationally for a variety of orthopedic procedures since the early 1990s, and in shoulder cases since 2013.
Stryker is reported to be the first company to offer an FDA-cleared pyrocarbon implant for shoulder hemiarthroplasty in the U.S.
