Description
PALACOS® MV+G is indicated for use as bone cement in arthroplasty procedures of the hip, knee and other joints to fix plastic and metal prosthetic parts to living bone when reconstruction is necessary. The cement is indicated for use in the second stage of a two stage revision for total joint arthroplasty after the initial infection has been cleared. PALACOS® MV+G contains the X-ray contrast medium zirconium dioxide. To improve visibility in the surgical field PALACOS® MV+G has been coloured with chlorophyll (E141). The bone cement is prepared directly before use by mixing a polymer powder component with a liquid monomer component. A ductile dough forms which cures within a few minutes.
