Vancogenx-Space® Knee 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 Vancogenx-Space® Knee, in case of patient with a severe tibial bone defect.
Tecres provides the surgeon with an easy way to increase the tibial thickness in cases of severe tibial defects. Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS is intended to optimize the fit of the device to the patient’s anatomy and facilitate proper device positioning during surgical procedures Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS coupled with the tibial component of Vancogenx-Space® Knee is designed to create a tibial modulus that optimally fills the bone defect. Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS is available in 2 thickness options and 2 width options to guarantee a perfect fit every time.
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 Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS and Vancogenx-Space® Knee 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 Vancogenx-Space® Knee alone.
Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS is engineered with the same PMMA technology of our Vancogenx-Space® Line. This means that from the pharmacological point of view the combined antibiotic release of Gentamicin and Vancomycin is safe and effective. Release performances are known and reproducible, making Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS a reliable and safe choice.
When combined, Gentamicin and Vancomycin have a synergistic action against bacteria. Their range of action covers approximately 90% of the pathogenic agents generally isolated in surgical infections. The Gentamicin and Vancomycin combination is the most commonly used and published combination in cases of concomitant treatment of orthopaedic infections.
