SHOULDER 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.

• Efficient release of antibiotic in place.
• Spacer metal structure assures resistance to physiological mechanical stress.
• Prevents humerus proximal migration.
• It prevents tissue retraction, thus facilitating further revision and re-implantation surgery.
• Simplification of the revision surgery.
• Keeps shoulders muscular function.
• Temporary insertion of the rotator cuff, which prevents its retraction.
• Patient early rehabilitation: joint movement is maintained.
• Higher quality of life between surgical stages.
