BioKnee™ and BioHip Spacers
Our Hip and Knee 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.
** New for 2010 - Our Knee Spacers are
now available in right or left for best fit and results **
