SPECTRUM® GV Bone Cement is indicated for the fixation of the REMEDY® & REMEDY SPECTRUM® GV Spacers, and for the fixation of prostheses to living bone in the second stage of a two-stage revision of a total joint arthroplasty after the initial infection has been cleared.

SPECTRUM® GV Bone Cement is a radiopaque, PMMA bone cement with gentamicin and vancomycin. The bone cement is single-use and provided sterile. SPECTRUM® GV Bone Cement is a traditional bone cement in that the liquid is contained in a vial and the powder in a sachet. The two components are mixed manually immediately before use. The device is protected from bacterial adhesion due to the presence of gentamicin and vancomycin.

The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer, which consists of Modular Femoral, Tibial, and Stem Extension Components, is indicated for temporary use (maximum 180 days) as an adjunct to total knee replacement (TKR) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to a septic process where gentamicin is the most appropriate antibiotic based on the susceptibility of the infecting micro-organism(s). The REMEDY Stemmed Femoral Component can be used with a PMMA Tibial Component or an All-Poly tibial component. The device is applied on the femoral condyles (Femoral Component) and on the tibial plate (Tibial Component) following removal of the existing implant and radical debridement. The use of the Stem Extension Component is optional to replace the space occupied by the previous femoral and/or tibial stem (dead space management). Stem Extensions may be used with the Femoral and Tibial components. Moreover, if necessary, the Tibial Component could be coupled with the REMEDY Tibial Insert Wedge when a large tibial defect is present. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The device is intended for use with antibiotic (gentamicin) bone cement. The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer is not intended for use for more than 180 days, at which time it must be explanted and a permanent device implanted or another appropriate treatment performed (e.g., resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.). Because of the inherent mechanical limitations of the device materials, the device is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility assist devices (e.g., crutches, walkers, canes) throughout the implantation period, allowing basic joint mobility.

The OsteoRemedies' REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer (K183017, K223650) are legally marketed devices that are used in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to a septic process. The 510(k)-cleared REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer is a temporary knee spacer device consisting of independent components (femoral component, tibial component and stem extension components) that can be combined with each other and the optional insert wedge depending on the anatomy of the patient. All components are manufactured from PMMA with gentamicin; the stems are structurally reinforced with a stainless steel core. The subject REMEDY All-Poly Tibial Component is intended to be a line extension to the REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer ( K183017, and K223650). The REMEDY All-Poly Tibial Component may be used in lieu of the currently cleared PMMA tibial component.

The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer, which consists of a modular femoral, tibial and stem extension components, is indicated for temporary use (maximum 180 days) as an adjunct to total knee replacement (TKR) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to a septic process and where gentamicin is the most appropriate antibiotic based on the susceptibility pattern of the infecting micro-organism(s). The device is applied on the femoral condyles (femoral component) and on the tibial plate (tibial component) following removal of the existing implant and radical debridement. The use of the stem extension component is optional to replace the space occupied by the previous femoral and/or tibial stem (dead space management). Moreover, if necessary, the tibial component could be coupled with the OsteoRemedies REMEDY Tibial Insert Wedge when a large tibial defect is present. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer is not intended for use for more than 180 days, at which time it must be explanted and a permanent device implanted or another appropriate treatment performed (e.g. resection arthroplasty, fusion etc.). Because of the inherent mechanical limitations of the device materials (gentamicin/polymethylmethacrylate), the device is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility assist devices (e.g., crutches, walkers, canes) throughout the implantation period, allowing basic joint mobility.

The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer System is a temporary knee spacer system consisting of femoral, tibial, and tibial wedge components, and stem extensions which can be combined to address dead space management following explantation of an infected total knee arthroplasty device. These components are available in different sizes to generally match the sizes of the explanted components and to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The stem extension components can be coupled with the femoral and tibial implant components to address dead space management in the femoral and tibial intramedullary canals following removal of infected stemmed prostheses. The components of the REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer System are sterile, single-use devices intended for temporary use (maximum 180 days) as joint replacement. The components are made of fully formed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which is radiopaque and contains gentamicin. The stem components have a stainless steel core. The REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer System provides patients a temporary complete knee implant that allows for a natural range of motion and partial weight-bearing during treatment of the infection, and preserves the soft tissue to prevent further complications, such as muscular contraction, to facilitate the subsequent joint replacement procedure after systemic treatment of the underlying infection. The components of the REMEDY Stemmed Knee Spacer System are protected from bacterial adhesion due to the presence of gentamicin.

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 or gentamicin vancomycin are the most appropriate antibiotics based on 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 medulary canal and can mate directly with the native actabular component which is placed in the acetabular cavity. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The OsteoRemedies Hip Spacer System is not intended for use 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.).
