Knee Spacer Synicem
Knee Spacer with Gentamicin

Knee Spacer Synicem évolution is a temporary implanted spacer that aids in the treatment of infected knee prosthesis. The method is used in two stages: in the first stage, the infected prosthesis is removed and the spacer is placed. In the second stage, once the infection cures, the spacer is removed and the definite prosthesis is positioned in its place.
Offers various advantages related to the patient's quality of life during the treatment of infection and makes revision surgery easier, either in the positioning of the definite prosthesis as well as during patient's rehabilitation.

Spacer Synicem évolution is a sterile device, ready to use and available in many sizes. It is made up of two independent elements tibial and femoral- designed to reach the maximum balance between device and patient, and the fastest application procedure. The tibial component is formed by a plane base against which the femoral component articulates. 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.

Presentation
Spacer Synicem évolution is available in a box with the Instructions for Use and a double blister with the knee spacer sterilised by ethylene oxide gas.

Composition
The spacer is manufactured with gentamicin loaded cement.

Synicem Spacers are EC Marked (European Community Conformity Mark) and comply with ISO 13485 relative to the Quality of Medical Products.
Spacers improve the patient's quality of life between surgeries, also making surgeries and patient´s rehabilitation easier.
Double sterility protection barrier.
Effective “in situ” antibiotic release (Gentamicine).
Preservation of the articular space.
As patient can undergo rehabilitation treatment, the extensor apparatus is preserved. Anatomical design better adapts the spacer to the Tibia and Femur, reducing te loss of bone stock and considering the patella
Synicem Spacers are not designed to replace metal implants, but only as a help to aid in the two stage procedure. Weight bearing is not recommended and should be anaylized in a case by case basis.
