Vancogenx-Space Knee ATS

Description

Vancogenx-Space® Knee ATS is a preformed knee spacer component that offers an augmented tibial stem

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.

A perfect fit every time

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.

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 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.

Safe and effective AB release

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.

Synergistic Antibiotics Action

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.
