The present disclosure is directed to temporary antimicrobial-eluting cement spacer implants, and assemblies, kits, and methods for forming the same. Particularly preferred disclosures are to modular spacers, assemblies, and kits, as well as methods of manufacturing the same, where the modular nature of the spacer permits the selection of specific desired length spacers, as well as specific selection of antimicrobial compounds and dosages, along with the components and processes for forming the same.

Temporary antimicrobial cement spacer, assembly, kit, and method of manufacture

Methods and devices are shown for forming polymer fasteners into bone by expelling the polymer from a cannula. Devices and methods shown allow a user to form multiple fasteners of various sizes without re-loading a device. Devices and methods shown further provide temperature profiles during fastener formation that reduce or eliminate thermal necrosis. Devices and methods shown further provide fasteners with increased strength.
