BioSpacers™ Knee and Hip Spacers
Our BioSpacers™ are innovative and highly effective
devices designed to help overcome arthroplastic infections,
whilst maintaining mobility and quality of life for the patient.
These temporary, implantable devices incorporate Gentamicin and
are used to provide a replacement for a joint prosthesis which has
been removed as a result of a septic process.
The Spacers are
made from Orthopaedic Innovation Bone Cement and the Spacer
itself is reinforced with a Stainless Steel (316L) insert to
enhance strength. Their other key features are:
|
• |
Effective in-situ
release of high local antibiotic dosage, with reduced
systemic effects. |
|
• |
Homogenous
distribution of antibiotic in the cement. |
|
• |
Implantable with bone
cement. |
|
• |
Partial
weight-bearing and functional use of the limb (must be
fully assessed on an individual patient basis). |
|
• |
Improved quality of
life between surgeries. |
|
• |
Shorter
hospitalisation. |
|
• |
Lower costs per
treatment. |
