Sterile, radio-opaque acrylic cements for orthopaedic cementation
Indications
CEMFIX 1 and CEMFIX 3acrylic bone cements enable orthopaedic implants to be fixed in bone during arthroplasties. The surgeon has two types of cement available
CEMFIX 1: standard viscosity acrylic cementfor manual application
CEMFIX 3: low viscosity cement whose optimal fluidity enables easy application either rby syringe or by gun.
CEMFIX 1 and CEMFIX 3 are used during operations such as:
· Fixing arthroplastic implants · Articular destruction due to traumatism, arthrosis or osteoporosis.
These products comply with ISO 5833 standard.
Mechanical properties broadly superior to those for ISO 5833 standard.
These products offer the following advantages:
Mechanical properties broadly superior to those for ISO 5833 standard.
Reduced polymerisation temperature.
Reduction in the amount of monomer salted out in situ.
Accelerated final polymerisation phase to reduce the risks of micro-movement by the implant.
Barium sulphate, the opacifier used, creates less debris from wear than zirconium oxide.

CEMFIX cements are supplied sterile, ready-for-use, in operating blocks.
Storage
CEMFIX must be stored unopened, in its original packaging, in a clean, dry place away from light and at a temperature below 25°C.
CEMFIX 1 ref: T040140 40g of powder and 14.4 g of liquid
CEMFIX 3 ref: T040340 40g of powder and 16.4 g of liquid
Note
The use of a CEMSTOP resorbable obturator is recommended before injecting the cement.
Adjust the quantity of cement to the size of the cavity, ensuring you have the closest possible contact with the bone.
