## Indications for use
The VIP Glenoid Targeter is a manual instrument system intended to facilitate preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of the central glenoid guide pin used in the preparation of the glenoid in total shoulder systems that utilize a central guide pin for preparing the glenoid to receive the glenoid implant. The VIP Glenoid Targeter is indicated for use with the Univers™ II and Univers™ Apex total shoulder systems, keeled or pegged glenoid components, the Univers VaultLock® glenoid component, as well as the Univers Revers™ baseplate component (Universal Glenoid) and Univers Revers™ modular glenoid system (MGS) baseplates. The VIP Glenoid Reamer is intended for use with the VIP Glenoid Targeter in total shoulder systems that utilize a central guide pin for preparing the glenoid to receive the glenoid implant. The VIP Glenoid Reamer is indicated for use with the Univers VaultLock® glenoid component and the Univers Revers™ modular glenoid system (MGS) baseplates. The indications for use of the Arthrex shoulder systems with which the VIP glenoid instrumentation is intended to be used are the same as those described in the labeling for these shoulder systems. The OrthoVis preoperative plan is a preoperative plan created via the OrthoVis software that facilitates accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of the glenoid component in total shoulder replacement. The VIP Glenoid Targeter is indicated for use with the Univers™ II and Univers™ Apex total shoulder systems, keeled or pegged glenoid components, the Univers VaultLock® glenoid component, as well as the Univers Revers™ baseplate component (Universal Glenoid) and Univers Revers™ modular glenoid system (MGS) baseplates. The VIP Glenoid Reamer is indicated for use with the Univers VaultLock® glenoid component and the Univers Revers™ modular glenoid system (MGS) baseplates.
