SYNICEM™ SHOULDER – spacer with antibiotic

The Synicem™ SHOULDER spacer element is designed for temporary implantation in the shoulder joint to treat periprosthetic infections, using a two-stage surgical technique.

The Synicem™ SHOULDER features an internal core made of stainless steel, coated with bone cement containing a high concentration of the antibiotic gentamicin.

Advantages:

• Localized antibiotic release
• Increased mechanical strength due to internal reinforcement with a stainless steel rod
• Prevents shoulder elevation and muscle retraction. Facilitates revision and re-implantation surgery
• Maintains the shoulder’s muscle apparatus
• Prevents retraction of the rotator cuff
• Preservation of shoulder mobility allows for early rehabilitation
