Synicem™ shoulder spacer

Preformed, antibiotic loaded shoulder spacer to maintain space and aid treatment of infection

Preformed spacers to maintain space and aid treatment of infection

The Synicem spacer range provides a ready-to-use preformed spacer with the performance characteristics you need for your 2-stage revision procedures.

Designed to overcome the challenges of using traditional intra-operative moulded and handmade spacers, Synicem spacers support revisions of the hip, knee and shoulder to preserve articular space and aid the treatment of infection.

Specifically designed to support your management of infection in shoulder revision

Combining convenience, structural uniformity and stability, whilst delivering a high local concentration of gentamicin.
Synicem shoulder spacers reliably stabilise the shoulder, while maintaining the articular space, limb length and muscle structure.6

  • Precision engineered for consistency and structural uniformity
  • Designed for dynamic movement and stability
  • Preloaded with gentamicin to aid treatment of infection
  • Case-by-case flexibility and time-saving

Precision engineered for consistency and structural uniformity

Strictly controlled manufacturing conditions minimise the risk of mechanical failure by eliminating unwanted variation in the shape and
structural integrity of the base material.

  • Perfectly spherical and polished finish of the humeral head prevents bone stock wear6
  • Intra-operatively prepared spacers are time consuming to make and prone to fracture.1

Designed for dynamic movement and stability

Designed to maintain articular space, limb length and muscle structure after removal of the original implant.6

  • Uniform stainless-steel core to increase mechanical resistance
  • Suture anchor points allow rotator cuff to be secured to the spacer

Preloaded with gentamicin to aid treatment of infection

The spacer yields a high local concentration of gentamicin while maintaining low systemic levels to aid the treatment of infection.6

Case-by-case flexibility and time-saving

A comprehensive range of sizes and styles provide case-by-case flexibility, with a reusable spacer tray available to ensure you select the correct size every time.6

  • No moulding required
