Heraeus Medical GmbH 5036964 PALACOS®

PALACOS® R+G is a fast setting polymer containing gentamicin, for use in bone surgery. Mixing of the two component system, consisting of a powder and a liquid, initially produces a liquid and then a paste, which is used to anchor the prosthesis to the bone. The hardened bone cement allows stable fixation of the prosthesis and Transfers all stresses produced in a movement to the bone via the large interface. Insoluble zirconium dioxide is included in the cement powder as an X ray contrast medium. The chlorophyll additive serves as optical marking of the bone cement at the site of the operation.
