Custom-made spacers for staged orthopaedic procedures
Precision in Infection Management and Joint Preservation
SurgiNovi’s patient-specific spacers are designed around the contours and dimensions of the anatomical site represented in the patient’s scans. The published range includes a custom-made knee spacer for use within a staged orthopaedic treatment plan.
Representing a solution in managing joint infections and preserving function during staged orthopaedic revisions.
Defining the design requirements
SurgiNovi Spacer technology represents a solution in managing joint infections and preserving function during staged orthopaedic revisions. Designed as a patient-specific, temporary custom implant, the Spacer fits precisely within the joint space to maintain anatomical alignment while delivering targeted antibiotic therapy.
Dimensions are only part of that conversation. The team also needs to establish the relevant configuration and technical information for the product under consideration. Changes to the treatment plan may alter what is required of the spacer.
Patient-Specific Total Knee Spacer Sizes
SurgiNovi Custom-Made Patient-Specific Knee Spacer is designed and manufactured with the exact patient-specific contours, sizes, and dimensions of the target anatomical site of the patient’s bone structures, as extracted from scans.
Patient-Specific Total Shoulder Spacer Sizes
SurgiNovi Custom-Made Patient-Specific Shoulder Spacers serve as temporary substitutes for shoulder prostheses. These spacers allow for limited mobility in patients who have undergone surgical procedures such as the removal of malignant or aggressive benign bone tumours in the shoulder, the treatment of bone infection resulting from severe shoulder trauma, or the removal of an infected shoulder prosthesis.
Patient-Specific Hip Spacer Sizes
SurgiNovi Hip Spacers are manufactured from biocompatible PA and are provided sterile in Tyvek pouches. They are available in different sizes corresponding to different head diameters.
Patient-Specific Knee Bone Replacement - Modular Extension - Revision
SurgiNovi bone replacement implants are manufactured from Nylon PA2200. These offer a promising solution for limb maintenance in patients with bone sarcomas or other bone tumours. These implants, designed for limb salvage surgeries by maintaining the knee joint, are crafted from a biocompatible material.
Questions about custom-made spacers
Is a spacer intended to perform the same role as a permanent implant?
No. These are separate product categories. The spacer’s role is defined within a staged plan, while a definitive implant is considered for the intended reconstruction.
What needs to be confirmed before use?
The clinical team needs the applicable device information, intended-use requirements and instructions. Any claims about the proposed composition or performance should relate to the actual product configuration.
