Device description

The COPAL® exchange G Hip and Knee Spacers devices provide patients, undergoing a two-stage revision procedure for an infected total joint, a temporary implant to l) allow for partial weight bearing and 2) provide an approximate natural range of motion. The devices also maintain a patient's soft tissue and joint space, preventing further complications such as muscular contraction. The gentamicin protects the device from bacterial colonization. The COPAL® exchange G Hip and Knee Spacers are placed into the joint to maintain normal joint space and alignment. They provide patient comfort and limited mobility while the infection is being treated. The COPAL® exchange G Hip and Knee Spacers are made with bone cement that are loaded with gentamicin antibiotics. The COPAL® exchange G Hip and Knee Spacers are temporary joint prostheses designed to temporarily replace an infected implant during a total hip or knee arthroplasty and provide the patient with limited mobility and predictable, consistent local antibiotic release.
