COPAL® knee moulds – Moulding Your Future With Flexibility

COPAL knee moulds
  • For the preparation of cement spacers with an articulating surface
  • Customizable: 36 spacer options for patient focus with height adjustable tibia components and optional stem for gap balancing needs
  • Reliable: Heraeus quality
  • Anatomical: Implant-like spacer design

Customizable: Patient Focus

  • COPAL® knee moulds provide customization to individual patient situation
  • Modularity allows for 36 reconstruction options
  • Articulation of COPAL® knee moulds provide limited patient mobility during spacer interims.1

Reliable: Heraeus Quality

  • Reproducible spacer design and quality based on rigid material preventing deformation under heat or pressure
  • Safety in handling: spacer construction without a scalpel
  • COPAL® knee moulds is fillable with PALACOS® R+G bone cements
  • PALACOS® R+G with increased antibiotic elution2 and superior mechanical strength3

Anatomical: Implant-Like Spacer Design

  • COPAL® knee moulds design is based on actual knee prostheses
  • Modular tibial spacer design allows for improved fit and joint space preservation
