InterSpace® Knee ATS Spacer
With the same technology and proven science,1 we now offer a uniquely designed augmented tibial stem (ATS) that complements our existing knee spacer. This new component comes in multiple size and thickness options to best fit patient anatomy without sacrificing the stem length.
*7mm and 12mm thickness options
InterSep® Calcium Sulfate
Continuing our goal to provide infection-related solutions, Exactech introduces InterSep – a 100% synthetic calcium sulfate bone void filler engineered to fully resorb and replace bone during the healing process.
InterSep may be used in an infected bone site and provides surgeon flexibility with its bead and paste options.
Trust the Science.
InterSpace®, the most widely studied antibiotic spacer technology in the world, was designed to provide patients with a higher quality of life and surgeons with a greater sense of control during their attempted treatments of PJI. These preformed spacers are designed to assist surgeons with joint sepsis by administering a consistent local antibiotic release and offer patient mobility through a solution that is efficient and convenient.1-8
High Release Matrix
Proven high release formulation and design yields predictable and consistent local antimicrobial activity compared to other treatment options1,7,8
Stainless Steel Core
The stainless steel core, found in both the hip and shoulder spacers, provides a more robust mechanical structure.

From Primary to Revision – Comprehensive and Versatile
Exactech exists to improve the quality of life for individuals by maintaining their activity and independence. We do this by manufacturing innovative orthopaedic implants and surgical instruments for hip, knee and shoulder replacement as well as biologic materials and bone cement systems.
When cases call for revisions, we are here from primary to revision and infection to correction.
And it doesn’t stop there. Contact Exactech to learn more about our full product scope.

*Partial weight bearing must be assessed on an individual basis with relation to the anatomic condition of the local bone, bone quality and clinical conditions of the patient during rehabilitation stages. Care must be taken to minimize the risk of damaging bone tissue and the implant through excessive weight bearing or forced mobilization
