The most studied preformed spacer
Tecres spacers represent today the most studied and published spacer devices with over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
High success rate
The relevant clinical information extracted from 26 peer-reviewed papers (21 different hospitals, more than 1,100 unique patients) shows that the infection eradication rate, at a mean follow-up of 56 months, exceeds 91%.
Antibiotics synergy
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.
Preformed, safe and reliable
The use of a preformed commercial spacer, with standardized mechanical and pharmacological properties is an option which provides mechanical, biological and pharmacological safety and performance.
