First FDA-approved modular system for infected total joints

Apr 26 2015

OsteoRemedies®, LLC, Memphis, TN, offers the first FDA-approved modular system for two-stage revision of infected hip and knee arthroplasty.

The REMEDY® Spacer is sterile-packaged as a pre-formed, pre-loaded spacer with Gentamicin Antibiotics, for consistent and reliable elution to the infected joint space. Combined with a consistent process for polishing the PMMA articulating surfaces, the REMEDY® spacer is approved for temporary use for up to 180 days.

As a pre-packaged solution, the REMEDY® Spacer also saves the surgeon and the facility valuable time compared to traditional revision infection procedures.

The system enables surgeons to appropriately address a patient’s anatomy with complete interchangeability between femoral and tibial knee sizing for knee revisions, and a fully modular femoral head and stem design for hip revisions.
