Project Description

CEMFIX®3

PMMA acrylic cement low viscosity

CEMFIX 3® is a PMMA acrylic bone cement for fastening prostheses to the bone during orthopaedic surgery.

CEMFIX 3® is a self-hardening, low viscosity cement, it is recommended to use a syringe for its application, being less viscous than CEMFIX 1.

ADVANTAGES

  • Low viscosity
  • Low exothermicity
  • Low monomer leaching
  • Easy to handle
CEMFIX 3® cement is a bone cement for orthopaedic application indicated in the following cases: arthroplasty revisions in orthopaedic surgery.
Low polymerisation temperature compared to competitive products

The maximum temperature reached during polymerisation of CEMFIX 3® cement is well below the requirements of standard ISO 5833, so reducing the risks of bone necrosis.

Mechanical properties

The mechanical properties of CEMFIX 3 ® cement are significantly better than the requirements of standard ISO 5833 in flexion, compression.
