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.
Our Knee Spacers are
now available in right or left for best fit and results

Shoulder Spacers
Our shoulder spacer is a temporary implanted spacer that aids in
the treatment of infected shoulder prosthesis. The method is
used in tow stages: in the first stage, the infected prosthesis
is removed and the spacer is placed. In the second stage, once
the infection cures the spacer is removed and the definitive
prosthesis is positioned in its place.
|
|
Effective antibiotic release 'in-situ', with high local
concentration. |
|
|
Prevents humerus proximal
migration. |
|
|
It
prevents tissue retraction, thus facilitating further
revision and re-implantation surgery. |
|
|
Simplification of the
revision surgery. |
|
|
Keeps shoulder's muscular
function. |
|
|
The only spacer which
permits the temporary insertion of the rotator cuff, to
prevent its retraction. |
|
|
Patient early
rehabilitation: joint movement is maintained. |
|
|
Higher quality of life
between surgical stages. |
