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

To overcome these well documented failure modes experts in the field of shoulder replacement surgery, biomechanical engineering and 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.


Vaios - Best New Product Award

We are delighted to announce that JRI have won the best new (mechanical) product award at this years British Engineering Excellence Awards for the Vaios Shoulder system.

These awards celebrate the very best in British engineering and we can all be very proud that JRI has been recognised for the VAIOS shoulder system.

This has only been possible because of an excellent collaboration between JRI, Professor Garth Johnson’s team at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and Professor Angus Wallace in Nottingham.
