GPS Shoulder Application

The only globally launched shoulder navigation technology available.

GPS Shoulder Application

The only globally launched shoulder navigation technology available.

GPS Shoulder Application

The GPS Shoulder Application is designed to reproduce the preoperative plan with precise execution intraoperatively. The system provides live feedback, allowing surgeons to control adjustments to the surgical plan in the O.R.

Reproducibility

Intraoperatively, ExactechGPS® provides visibility into the glenoid vault in real time and allows for consistent, accurate glenoid placement.1

Efficiency

A user-friendly preoperative planning application, the Equinoxe® Planning App, enables implant selection and placement prior to surgery. An ExactechGPS operative plan can be prepared within days after receiving patient CT scan.

Accuracy

In a recent cadaver study, ExactechGPS was able to bring the version, inclination and implant placement to within 2 degrees and 2mm of the planned implant placement – an 8 degree improvement over standard instrumentation and a 4 degree improvement over patient-specific instrumentation.2,3

Efficiency

In addition, ExactechGPS provides a real-time view of retroversion and inclination, reaming and drilling depth, screw placement and the ability to adjust surgical plan intraoperatively, offering surgeons more flexibility.
