SYNICEM™ HIP – spacer with antibiotic

The Synicem™ HIP spacer is designed for temporary implantation in the hip joint for the treatment of periprosthetic infections using a two-stage surgical technique.

The Synicem™ HIP spacer has an internal stainless steel core covered with bone cement with a high concentration of antibiotic (gentamicin).

Advantages:
• local release of antibiotic
• choice of model: Charnley or Muller
• metal core provides resistance to physiological and mechanical loads
• prevents migration of the proximal femur, facilitating the surgical approach during the final revision
• allows for the preservation of thigh muscle function
• enables early rehabilitation of the patient due to rapid mobilization
