Project Description

CEMSTOP®

Bio-absorbable Cement Restrictor

CEMSTOP® aIIows a sealing of the medullary cavity before the introduction of acrylic cement during hip arthroplasty surgeries.
CEMSTOP® Iimits the cement progression into the diaphysis, and facilitates cement pressurization.

CEMSTOP® is completely dissolved within a few days of implantation.

ADVANTAGES

  • Resorbable
  • Flexible
  • Biocompatible
  • Simplified revision procedure
  • Flexible material, fits the diaphysis perfectly

CEMSTOP ® cement restrictor is a diaphyseal plug designed to occlude the medullary cavity before the introduction of acrylic cement during total hip arthroplasty. CEMSTOP ® prevents the cement from flowing down the diaphysis ,and therefore facilitates cement pressurization.

Each CEMSTOP® restrictor is supplied in sterile double wrapping and is available in the following 6 sizes: 8 – 10 – 12 – 14 – 16 – 18.

Each size is the diameter of the medullary canal to be plugged. A size 10 restrictor therefore effective restricts a medullary cavity of diameter 10.

CEMSTOP® comes with a full set of accessories including :
