The devices also maintain a patient's soft tissue and joint space, preventing further complications such as muscular contraction.COPAL® exchange G hip spacers are placed into the joint to maintain normal joint space and alignment. They provide patient comfort and limited mobility while the infection is being treated. COPAL® exchange G hip spacers are made with bone cement containing gentamicin. Gentamicin reduces the risk for bacterial colonization of the device and is released into the fluid surrounding the joint. COPAL® exchange G hip spacers are temporary joint prostheses designed to temporarily replace an infected implant during a total hip or knee arthroplasty and provide the patient with limited mobility and predictable, consistent local antibiotic release.COPAL® exchange G hip spacers are intended for single-use and are supplied sterile.
