Description
COPAL® exchange G hip spacer is a temporary hip spacer implant as part of two-stage septic endoprosthesis revision based on bone cement. COPAL® exchange G hip spacer contains gentamicin. Gentamicin reduces the risk for bacterial colonization of the device and is released into the fluid surrounding the joint. COPAL® exchange G hip spacer is intended for single-use and is supplied sterile. COPAL® exchange G hip spacer is made of fully formed polymethylmethacrylate (radiopaque PMMA with gentamicin) and contains an inner stainless steel (AISI 316L) reinforcing structure. It contains the X-ray contrast medium calcium carbonate. To improve visibility in the surgical field, it has been colored with chlorophyll-copper-complex (E141).
