The OsteoRemedies Hip Spacer System consists of modular heads and stems, and optional acetabular cups. The REMEDY® components of the OsteoRemedies Hip Spacer System include gentamicin and the REMEDY SPECTRUM® GV components include gentamicin and vancomycin.

The OsteoRemedies Hip Spacer System is indicated for temporary use (maximum 180 days) as an adjunct to total hip replacement (THR) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to a septic process and where gentamicin or gentamicin/vancomycin are the most appropriate antibiotics based on the susceptibility pattern of the infecting micro-organism(s).

Following removal of the existing femoral and acetabular components and radical debridement, the head and stem components are inserted into the femoral medullary canal and can mate directly with the native acetabulum or an acetabular component which is placed in the acetabular cavity. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection).

The OsteoRemedies Hip Spacer System is not intended for use for more than 180 days, at which time all components must be explanted, and a permanent device implanted or another appropriate treatment performed (e.g., resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.).
