The Subiton Hip Spacer is a temporary implant which main function is to preserve the articular space during a Two Stage Revision Arthroplasty. Furthermore it also aids in the treatment of the infection that emerged due to the implant of the hip prosthesis. This procedure consists of a first stage during which the infected prosthesis is removed, and the spacer is implanted. During the second stage, once the patient has finished the specific treatment and no signs of the infection remain, the spacer is removed to be replaced by a definitive new prosthesis.
HIP SPACER WITH ANTIBIOTIC.
Subiton Spacer is designed to replace (for a limited time) prosthetic components in an infected joint and aid in its healing. It also offers various advantages related to the patient’s quality of life during the treatment of the infection and makes revision surgery easier, both in the positioning of the definite prosthesis as during patient’s rehabilitation.
