Introduction
The document pertains to the specifications and usage of medical spacers, which are temporary implants used in the treatment of chronic periprosthetic joint infections. These spacers are designed to release antibiotics locally, aiding in the treatment of prosthetic infections. The spacers are available in three types: knee, hip, and shoulder.
Specifications
The document includes a table with various dimensions and specifications for different spacer models, categorized as SHORT and LONG. The models are identified by codes such as 48SG, 48LG, 52SG, 52LG, etc. Each model has specific measurements labeled as A, B, C, and D, which likely correspond to different physical dimensions of the spacers.
Key Measurements
- Model 48SG: A = 48, B = 55, C = 125, D = 10
- Model 48LG: A = 48, B = 55, C = 210, D = 10
- Model 52SG: A = 52, B = 60, C = 115, D = 10.40
- Model 52LG: A = 52, B = 60, C = 206, D = 10.40
- Model 56SG: A = 56, B = 65, C = 133, D = 10.8
- Model 56LG: A = 56, B = 65, C = 202, D = 10.8
- Model 60SG: A = 60, B = 70, C = 125, D = 11.00
- Model 60LG: A = 60, B = 70, C = 200, D = 11.00
Conclusion
The document provides detailed specifications for various spacer models used in medical procedures to treat joint infections. These spacers are crucial for delivering antibiotics directly to the infected area, thus playing a significant role in the treatment process.
