Material
AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel — non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant and chemically inert, a long-standing workhorse alloy for surgical instrumentation.
TKA Cutting Guide Spacer 1 mm & 2 mm sets · 304 non-magnetic stainless steel
Precision spacers for Total Knee Arthroplasty cutting guides — laser-cut and laser-engraved from medical-grade stainless steel, fully autoclavable and operating-room ready.
Why a spacer?
In Total Knee Arthroplasty, cutting-guide spacers are placed between the guide and the bone to fine-tune the resection level by precise increments. A 1 mm or 2 mm shift can be enough to optimise alignment and ligament balance.
Manufactured in non-magnetic 304 stainless steel and finished by laser, these spacers combine geometric repeatability, biocompatibility and full compatibility with standard sterilisation workflows.
Manufacturing process
Two stages, both performed on industrial fibre-laser systems: high-precision cutting of the spacer outline followed by permanent surface engraving for traceability and thickness identification.
Laser cutting — the spacer outline is cut from a 304 stainless-steel sheet with sub-millimetre tolerance.
Laser engraving — thickness and identification marks are permanently engraved on each piece for OR-side traceability.
Finished pieces
Technical specifications
Thicknesses
Two calibrated sets — 1 mm and 2 mm — supplied as pairs, enabling fine intra-operative adjustment of the resection level.
Manufacturing
Industrial fibre-laser cutting and engraving — clean edges, repeatable geometry and permanent identification marks on every piece.
Sterilisation
Fully autoclavable — compatible with the standard steam sterilisation cycles used in hospital sterile-services workflows.
