Optimize Your Cement Technique

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces CarboJet, a CO2 gas jet system designed to effectively remove lipids, marrow elements, blood, and saline from the cement interface in bone beds. This system is applicable in any cemented arthroplasty procedure, enhancing cement penetration and bond strength.

Key Features and Benefits

Increased Cement Penetration: CarboJet improves cement penetration, which is crucial for the success of cemented arthroplasty procedures.
Enhanced Bone-Cement Interface Strength: The system increases the strength of the bone-cement interface, reducing the risk of aseptic loosening, a common failure mode in knee arthroplasty.
Reduction of Micro-Emboli: The use of CO2 lavage reduces the opportunity for micro-emboli compared to traditional pulsatile saline lavage.
Single Use and Disposable: CarboJet is available as a single-use, fully disposable system, eliminating instrument tray reprocessing costs.

Clinical Evidence

Tourniquetless TKA: Studies by Meneghini (2018) and Jones (2011) highlight the benefits of tourniquetless total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including decreased pain and opioid consumption.
Failure Modes in Knee Arthroplasty: Research by Schroer et al. (2013) and Sharkey et al. (2014) discusses the etiology of total knee revision, emphasizing the importance of a strong bone-cement interface.
Comparative Studies: Stanley (2010) and Lassiter (2010) provide evidence on the strength of the bone-cement interface using CO2 preparation techniques versus traditional methods.

Conclusion
CarboJet offers a clinically proven solution for optimizing cement techniques in arthroplasty procedures, providing a cleaner bone bed and stronger cement bonds. For more information or to schedule an evaluation, contact Kinamed at the provided numbers or visit their website.
