Description

Hip, Knee and Shoulder Spacer use is indicated for a limited period, in patients with an infection due to gentamicin-sensitive germs, who require a Two-stage Revision Arthroplasty. Together with the spacer, the use of systemic antibiotic therapy is recommended. The Spacer is placed as a hermiarthroplasty after the original implant is removed.
