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 **
