Project Description
ORTHOCEM 1G & 3G
Surgical Cement with Antibiotic
ORTHOCEM 1G & 3G are radiopaque and self-hardening bone cements
• Containing Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic
• Dedicated to arthroplasty surgery
• Allowing immediate and stable anchorage of implants
• Responding to the needs of surgeons, 2 viscosities for 2 types of applications:
ORTHOCEM 1G : high viscosity bone cement for manual application
ORTHOCEM 3G: low viscosity bone cement with an optimum fluidity for an easy application with syringe or injection gun
ADVANTAGES
- Mechanical properties above ISO 5833 standard
- Low exothermicity in situ
- Low release of monomer
- Stable fixation of implants
- Suitable viscosity
- Barium sulfate as excellent radiopaque agent
- Easy to prepare with a bowl & spatula or in a vacuum mixing system
ORTHOCEM bone cements with gentamicin are intended for fixation of prosthetic components into bone medullar cavity in arthroplasty procedures.
ORTHOCEM® 1G & 3G bone cements allow local antibiotherapy.
Gentamicin, issued from family of aminosides, has a broad spectrum and is effective against most of the bacteria encountered.
The quantity of gentamicin contained in one dose of cement has been optimized to guarantee a long term release to cure or prevent infections.
