TECRES SPA SPC0222 InterSpace Hip

Temporary hip spacer with gentamicin. InterSpace Hip is composed of fully formed gentamicin/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) radiopaque bone cement coated onto a stainless steel reinforcing structure. The device is sterile and single-use. InterSpace Hip is indicated for temporary use (maximum of 180 days) as a total hip replacement (THR) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to a septic process. The device is inserted into the femoral medullary canal and acetabular cavity following removal of the existing implant and radical debridement. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). InterSpace Hip is not intended for use for more than 180 days, at which time it must be explanted and a permanent device implanted or another appropriate treatment performed (e.g., resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.).
