2. Ortho Development Corp.’s KASM knee spacer is designed to preserve range of motion, joint space and soft tissue tension.
3. The knee spacer features a smooth articulating surface for both the femur and tibial sides along with an open mold design that allows surgeons to customize the fill of each component to accommodate for existing bony defects and other patient-specific conditions.
