VAIOS Shoulder System – Best New Product Award

We are delighted to announce that JRI has won the best new (mechanical) product award at The 2011 British Engineering Excellence Awards (BEEA) for the VAIOS Shoulder System. These awards celebrate the very best in British engineering.

What the Judges said:

“JRI’s VAIOS Shoulder System has captured a strong position in a really important and competitive market by virtue of clever design.”

“It addresses the key obstacles to successful shoulder surgery and overcomes them whilst also making the job of the surgical team easier.”

Shoulder replacement has provided good clinical outcomes over the past 15 years. However, a number of challenges have been identified that can compromrise the long term success of shoulder arthroplasty often requiring early revision of the prosthesis.

To overcome well documented failure modes, experts in the field of shoulder replacement surgery, biomechanical engineering, joint replacement design and manufacturing collaborated to develop a shoulder replacement system that is Versatile, Anatomic, Inverse Optimised and Stable (VAIOS) whilst utilising a minimum number of components and instrumentation.
