QUALITY AND FLEXIBILITY IN MIXING

HIGH CEMENT QUALITY AND SAFETY PALAMIX®: FOR SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OUTCOME Using modern cementing technique in arthroplasty is key to ensure long survival rates for endoprostheses and a low risk of revision.1, 2 One of its crucial success factors is a homogeneously mixed bone cement.3 Vacuum mixing improves cement homogeneity by reducing porosity and strengthens the cement prosthesis interface.4 The disposable vacuum mixing system PALAMIX® enables standardised mixing of homogeneous bone cement of reproducibly high quality. VACUUM MIXING porosity of 0.1–1%5 substantially decreases cement implant...

MORE CONVENIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY MIXING AND COLLECTING With PALAMIX®, the mixing of the components and the collection of the bone cement is carried out under vacuum, which facilitates mixing saves preparation time before application reduces porosity 5 results in a homogeneously mixed bone cement that builds the basis for long term success in arthroplasty.8 APPLYING AND PRESSURISING PALAMIX® provides various options for application and pressurisation of bone cement. Different nozzles are available for individual procedures and allow flexibility in surgery. With PALAMIX®, it is even possible to...
