Spacer^®-K ATS

TAGS Knee Gentamicin

Spacer^®-K ATS is a preformed knee spacer component that offers an augmented tibial stem (ATS) for an enhanced stability and mechanical strength.* It is intended to be used always together with Spacer^®-K ATS, in case of patient with a severe tibial bone defect.

A perfect fit every time

Tecres provides the surgeon with an easy way to increase the tibial thickness in cases of severe tibial defects. Spacer®-K ATS is intended to optimize the fit of the device to the patient’s anatomy and facilitate proper device positioning during surgical procedures Spacer^®-K ATS coupled with the tibial component of Spacer^®-K is designed to create a tibial modulus that optimally fills the bone defect. Spacer^®-K ATS is available in 2 thickness options and 2 width options to guarantee a perfect fit every time.

Unique design for enhanced stability*

The device presents a stem which is designed to act as a guide during placement to facilitate positioning and reduce the risk of dislocation during application and reduction. The combination between Spacer^®-K ATS and Spacer^®-K generates a knee spacer with a thicker tibial component plus a short stem. From the mechanical point of view this combination is much more resistant as compared to Spacer^®-K alone. 

Safe and effective AB release

Spacer^®-K ATS is engineered with the same PMMA technology of our Spacer-K^® Line. This means that from the pharmacological point of view the combined antibiotic release of Gentamicin is safe and effective. Release performances are known and reproducible, making Spacer^®-K ATS a reliable and safe choice.
