Project Description
GENTAFIX® 1&3
Surgical Cement with Antibiotic
Radiopaque and self-hardening bone cements
• Containing Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic
• Dedicated to arthroplasty surgery
• Allowing immediate and stable anchorage of implants
• Responding to the needs of surgeons, 2 viscosities for 2 types of applications:
GENTAFIX® 1: high viscosity bone cement for manual application
GENTAFIX® 3: low viscosity bone cement with an optimum fluidity for an easy application with syringe or injection gun
The brand name of the product may vary depending on the geographical area.
ADVANTAGES
- Mechanical properties above ISO 5833 standard
- Low exothermicity in situ
- Low release of monomer
- Stable fixation of implants
- Suitable viscosity
- Barium sulfate as excellent radiopaque agent
- Easy to prepare with a bowl & spatula or in a vacuum mixing system
Bone cements are intended for use in cemented arthroplasty procedures.
- GENTAFIX® 1 is indicated for primary (shoulder, hip, knee) and revision (knee) surgeries.
- GENTAFIX® 3 is indicated for primary (hip) and revision (hip, knee) surgeries.
GENTAFIX® bone cements allow local antibiotherapy.
Gentamicin, issued from family of aminosides, has a broad spectrum and is effective against most of the bacteria encountered.
The quantity of gentamicin contained in one dose of cement has been optimized to guarantee a long term release to cure or prevent infections.
