Orthopaedic cement spacer moulds are reusable tools used in two-stage joint revision surgery to shape antibiotic-loaded bone cement into temporary joint spacers. These spacers are inserted into the joint space during the first stage of infection treatment, maintaining joint function until a permanent revision prosthesis can be implanted later.
These moulds are typically single-use devices, often made from silicone, and come in various sizes and shapes to match different joints. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their role in surgical procedures and the materials used, ensuring compliance with medical device standards.
