  Antibiotic Knee Spacer        
 
 
   
It was developed to replace prosthetic components in infected knees. It is placed as a Total Knee Prosthesis after original implants are removed, made of bone cement to which gentamycin is added. And is already to use device, available in different sizes. It is made up of two independent element-tibial and femoral-designed to reach the maximum balance between device and patient and the fastest application procedure. The tibial piece is formed by a plain base in which the femur pieces is articulated. Both components are placed in the area where the removed prosthesis was located, and are fixed to the bone using bone cement, mixed with antibiotic. Time of use is limited to the control of the infected process, when the spacer is removed and replaced by a define prosthesis.
