Product overview
Temporary hip and knee spacers are interim implants used in two-stage revision arthroplasty to manage periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The Hip Spacer maintains joint space and enables local antibiotic delivery directly to the infected site while awaiting definitive reconstruction.

Key features
