C~ment® PMMA Bone Cement

The first implantation of a total hip endoprosthesis using a PMMA cement took place in the 1950's. Nowadays the use of bone cement has become a common standard in total hip and knee arthroplasty with an established track record of clinical success and excellence. A surgeon can choose between different viscosity cements.

All products of the C~ment^® line exceed the mechanical requirements as set by the ISO 5833 standard.

With the C~ment^® line a variety of cements is available which meet surgeon’s preferences and techniques. C~ment^® 3 is a low viscosity bone cement which is initially more liquid. C~ment® 1 is a high cement which is initially more ductileAntibiotic bone cements.

Antibiotics in bone cements must be well balanced in order to achieve an effective antibiosis while maintaining the mechanical cement properties.
