Spacer® G Flat Stem

For narrow femoral channels

The Spacer® G Flat Stem is an interim femoral prosthesis by Tecres; it is implanted temporarily as part of two-stage revision procedures performed due to infection. The Gentamicin-enriched implant has a flat design and contains a reinforced core of implant steel (AISI 316L). This spacer type is known for providing a good fit in narrow femurs, preserving the greater trochanter and inhibiting rotation thanks to its rectangular cross-section.
