The most studied preformed spacer
Tecres spacers represent today the most studied and published spacer devices with over 131 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
High success rate
The relevant clinical information extracted from 37 peer-reviewed papers (30 different hospitals, more than 1,600 unique patients) shows that the infection eradication rate, at a mean follow-up of 56 months, exceeds 91%.
Preformed, safe and reliable
The use of a preformed commercial spacer, with standardized mechanical and pharmacological properties is an option which provides mechanical, biological and pharmacological safety and performance.
Advantages
- maintain the correct joint space
- allow a good range of joint mobility
- promote early rehabilitation by providing a means to avoid muscular retraction
- allow the patient greater function during the treatment period
- allow partial weight-bearing with crutches when the residual bone stock is adequate
- provide high and inhibitory local concentration of antibiotic in the site of infection at implantation (Bertazzoni Minelli et al., 2015) which is maintained over time (Mutimer et al., 2009).
