Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed information on the use of pre-formed spacer systems with Gentamicin for two-stage revision arthroplasty, specifically for shoulder, hip, and knee replacements. These spacers are designed to temporarily replace infected total arthroplasties and facilitate subsequent permanent implant surgeries.
Spacer S for Shoulder Arthroplasty:
  • Procedure: Involves removal of primary components, application of Cemex Genta, manual insertion of Spacer S, and evaluation of joint motion.
  • Description: Spacer S is a partial load-bearing device made of Gentamicin impregnated Cemex PMMA bone cement.
  • Advantages: Maintains joint space, allows limited mobility, provides consistent antibiotic release, and reduces hospitalization.
Spacer G for Hip Arthroplasty:
  • Description: Designed to replace a total hip arthroplasty when removed due to infection, consisting of Gentamicin impregnated Cemex PMMA bone cement with a stainless steel core.
  • Advantages: Similar benefits as Spacer S, including maintaining joint space and facilitating easier permanent implant surgery.
Spacer K for Knee Arthroplasty:
  • Description: Temporarily replaces a total knee arthroplasty removed due to infection, made of Gentamicin impregnated Cemex PMMA bone cement.
  • Advantages: Maintains joint space, allows limited mobility, and provides predictable antibiotic release.
Additional Products:
  • Various sizes of spacers and Cemex Genta Bone Cement are available for different anatomical requirements.
Key Considerations:
  • Partial weight bearing must be assessed individually based on the patient's condition.
  • Care must be taken to avoid excessive weight bearing to prevent damage to bone tissue and implants.
