Project Description

F20®

Medium Viscosity Bone Cement for Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty

F20® is a medium viscosity, low exothermic, self-curing bone cement with a high content of radiopaque agent for an optimized and safe level of visualization during percutaneous vertebral bone augmentation procedures.

Its composition has been designed to get the most suitable handling properties for surgeon’s convenience.

ADVANTAGES

  • Medium viscosity
  • Easy & safe injection
  • Synthetic
  • High radio-opacity
  • Low exothermicity 45°C

F20® is a medium viscosity, low exothermic, self-curing bone cement with a high content of radiopaque agent for an optimized and safe level of visualization during percutaneous vertebral bone augmentation procedures.

PHYSICO-CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Bone cement with two components.
PMMA bone cement made of powder polymer and liquid monomer.

BIOCOMPATIBLE
Compliant to ISO 10993-1.

VISCOSITY
The medium viscosity of F20® allows an homogeneous bone filling and prevents leakages.

RADIO-OPACITY
F20® has a high content of opacifier for an ideal and maximum visibility during injection.

LOW EXOTHERMICITY (less than 45°C)
F20® prevents necrosis of bone tissues thanks to its low exothermic reaction which is much lower than other vertobroplasty bone cements.
