Orthopedic – Bone cements

G1™ and G3™ bone cements are radiopaque bone cements for surgical use to perform arthroplasty procedures, such as hip replacement, knee replacement, ankle replacement, shoulder replacement and other joint replacements, specifically formulated to allow fixation of prosthetic devices on the living bone.
G21 bone cements for orthopaedics with antibiotic a self-curing, radiopaque, polymethyl methacrylate
based cement which is used for securing a metal or polymeric prosthesis to living bone in arthroplasty revision procedures such as hip replacement, knee replacement, ankle replacement, shoulder replacement and other joints replacement, specifically formulated for patients:

• where the general or local conditions indicate an increased risk of infection;
• with a compromised general state (malnutrition, diabetes, systemic infections,…);
• needing a revision of hip or other joints prosthe-sis where a local infection has developed.

G1A™ and G3A™ are indicated for use in the second stage of a two stages revision for total joint arthroplasty after the initial infection has been cleared.
The G21 bone cements for orthopaedics are comes in the form of a two-component system (powder and liquid) to be mixed at the time of application in the operating theatre – is formulated so to develop the right viscosity for the type of application and such that, once hardened, it assumes a compact structure which enhances the mechanical strength of the implant.

G1™ and G1A™ bone cements are a standard viscosity cement, primarily intended for manual application.

The G1™ sterile radiopaque bone cements have a consistency and working time particularly suitable for cementation of knee prostheses. In the initial phases, the G1™ has properties that also make it suitable for cementation of hip prostheses.

The version with antibiotic (G1A™) is indicated in revision operations and in cases where there is a risk of infections caused by organisms sensitive to gentamicin. The G1A™ bone cement contains and releases the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin to protect the cured cement and contiguous tissue against contamination by microbes sensitive to gentamicin.

HOW TO ORDER

G3™ and G3A™ bone cements are a low viscosity cement, primarily intended for syringe application. If G3A™ is applied digitally, the surgeon must use their clinical judgment to decide when the cement viscosity is suitable to allow the surgical procedure to continue.

G3™ and G3A™ bone cements are particularly suitable for cementation of hip and shoulder prostheses.

The version with antibiotic is indicated in revision operations and in cases where there is a risk of infections caused by organisms sensitive to gentamicin.
