Acetabular spacer device comprising a pharmaceutical substance - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050231 titled 'Acetabular spacer device comprising a pharmaceutical substance

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a temporary and disposable acetabular spacer device that can be implanted in a bone cavity at a joint in the human body, such as the hip or shoulder joint. The device has a cup-like shape that is substantially hemispherical and includes a first convex surface to be positioned at the bone cavity. It also has a second concave surface that defines a cavity and contains at least one pharmaceutical or medical substance, such as an antibiotic, to treat an ongoing infection in the bone cavity.

  • The acetabular spacer device is temporary and disposable.
  • It is designed to be implanted in a bone cavity at a joint in the human body.
  • The device has a cup-like shape that is substantially hemispherical.
  • It includes a first convex surface to be positioned at the bone cavity.
  • The device also has a second concave surface that defines a cavity.
  • The cavity contains at least one pharmaceutical or medical substance, such as an antibiotic.
  • The substance is adapted to treat an ongoing infection in the bone cavity.

Potential Applications:

  • Treatment of ongoing infections in bone cavities at joints, such as the hip or shoulder joint.
  • Temporary support and protection of the joint during infection treatment.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a temporary solution for ongoing infections in bone cavities at joints.
  • Allows for targeted delivery of pharmaceutical or medical substances to the infection site.

Benefits:

  • Provides localized treatment for ongoing infections, reducing the need for systemic antibiotics.
  • Temporary nature of the device allows for removal once the infection is resolved.
  • Disposable nature eliminates the risk of contamination or re-infection.
  • Cup-like shape provides stability and support to the joint during infection treatment.
