Equinoxe Laser Cage Glenoid

The Laser Cage Glenoid is the next-generation hybrid glenoid, engineered with additive manufacturing and direct compression molded polyethylene.

Key Benefits

Hybrid Glenoid Technology

The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is directly compression molded to the 3D-printed central cage and peripheral pegs, which vastly increases the strength of the poly/metal interface in shear, axial pullout, and fatigue.1

Increased Mechanical Strength

Designed to survive cyclic loading two times greater than the ASTM standard2

Extreme preclinical cyclic testing was performed on a completely unsupported extra-large 16-degree augmented glenoid with a 5mm gap between the backside of the implant and the test fixture. The Laser Cage Glenoid withstood 200,000 cycles at 225lbs.2

2x peg shear resistance and 5x peg pull-off strength compared to the Legacy Cage Glenoid2

Porous Structures

Central cage and peripheral pegs are made from 3D-printed titanium, which produces optimized pore size, count and porosity to allow for bone-through growth and biologic fixation.1

Bone Conserving

Augmented 8-degree glenoids correct glenoid version to neutral and requires less bone removal, requires less reaming depth, and are supported by cortical bone than in the standard implant.  4
