Description

It secures the fixation of the grafted artificial joint improving the transfer of forces at the interface implant - bone. The antibiotic gentamicin sulphate has been added to protect the cured cement and contiguous tissue against contamination by microbes sensitive to gentamicin. PALACOS® fastR+G is available in 51 g packaging size. PALACOS® fast R+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.
