Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces Calcemex, an innovative reinforced bone substitute developed by Tecres S.p.A. It features a hybrid formula combining ß-TCP (Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate) and PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) to enhance osteoconductivity and mechanical resistance.
Specifications: Calcemex is designed as a bone void filler for non-structural bony defects. It is radiopaque, allowing visibility on X-rays, and can be applied manually or injected. The working time is up to 5 minutes and 45 seconds.
Key Features:
  • Osteoconductivity: Facilitated by the porosity of the material, allowing bone tissue to grow within the biomaterial.
  • Mechanical Resistance: Superior to other bone substitutes like calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite.
  • Resorbability: The ß-TCP component is gradually reabsorbed, promoting bone ingrowth.
Applications: Suitable for various fractures (distal radius, femoral, tibia, humerus, calcaneal, acetabular) and filling cavities from revision procedures or cystic lesions.
Performance: Calcemex achieves maximum mechanical resistance immediately after polymerization and maintains its volume and resistance over time.
Device Information: The document also describes the Xtruder and Shakit devices for easy application and mixing of bone void fillers. The Xtruder allows for easy filling and application, while Shakit optimizes mixing of high viscosity materials.
Ordering Information: Product codes for Calcemex and associated devices (Xtruder and Shakit) are provided for ordering purposes.
Bibliography: References to studies and articles supporting the product's efficacy and characteristics are included.

Thanks to the hybrid formula ß-TCP + Advantages of the ß-TCP component: Osteoconductivity1 Bone tissue gradually grows inside the biomaterial.6 The ß-TCP portion is gradually reabsorbed, leaving space for bone ingrowth. Osteoconductivity favoured by porosity Open porosity2 Special ß-TCP + PMMA formula Part of the fine powder that constitutes the material Cavities up to 500 µm, obtained by the programmed dissolution of a pre-set number of ß-TCP granules The special formula allows fluids to penetrate inside the material, to favour bone ingrowth. The bone is able to rebuild in a more diffuse manner....
