Synicem™ knee spacer

Preformed, antibiotic loaded knee 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 knee revision

Combining convenience, structural uniformity and stability, whilst delivering a high local concentration of gentamicin.
Synicem knee spacers maintain articular space, limb length and ligament 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 and ensuring the uniform shape and structural integrity of base material.

  • Intra-operatively prepared spacers are time-consuming to make and prone to fracture.1

Designed for dynamic movement and stability

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

  • Specific left and right geometries for each knee
  • Tibial stem ensures stability of the tibial component
  • Tibial post aligns the femoral component

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
