Spacer Moulds

Spacer moulds can be used to produce temporary cement spacers for infected joints. For these applications, an appropriate antibiotic-loaded cement should be used.  The spacer moulds are made of medical grade silicone.

To determine the right size of the spacer mould for the patient during preoperative planning, x-ray models are available.

Features:

• Efficient treatment of infections
• Prevents bone-on-bone contact and soft tissue contraction
• Stabilises infected joints

• Various sizes for both hip and knee
• Facilitates joint mobility and function recovery
