Bone cement (Ortho)

Bone cement (Ortho)

A bone cement mixer is a device for mixing and distributing cement for orthopedic surgery implants. The main synthetic biomaterial is PMMA, which is comprised of a solid powder and a liquid monomer phase. Both components polymerise by free radical reactions in which the concentration of the initiator and activator is regulated. The bone-cement interface forms a solid layer that resists load between the natural and synthetic materials.

In this method, the various components are mixed in the appropriate proportions. This ensures a uniform mixture and minimizes the chance of contaminating the surgical site. This method is also convenient for surgeons as there is no need for mixing. The second method is more labor-intensive and is done manually, but offers flexibility and specialized individual treatment. Both methods have some limitations, however: the first method is easier to use and has more predictable results.

Despite its advantages, bone cement is a complex substance that must be handled with great care. The concentrated monomer vapors can be irritating to the respiratory system, eyes, and liver. Personnel wearing contact lenses should be kept away from the mixing area. Once the bone cement is cured, it serves a structural role. It facilitates the transfer of load from the device to the surrounding bone.

One of the primary benefits of using bone cement is its versatility. It can anchor an orthopedic device in place, or it can be used alone in the spine for osteoporotic compression fractures. Its flexibility makes it ideal for minimally invasive orthopedic surgery. A good tool to have around is an efficient bone cement mixer. These devices will help you create the right mix. The mixer will also help you make the correct amount of cement for your implants.

An ideal bone cement mixer can be used to mix a variety of types of cement. The FDA recommends that a bone cement mixer is equipped with a femoral pressurizer. A femoral pressurizer will increase the intramedullary pressure in the cement, ensuring maximum penetration into the cancellous bone. Some stem designs come with a distal centralizer.

The bone cement mixers help make a perfect mix for your orthopedic surgery needs. The best bone cement mixer will help you blend the right mix in no time. Once the mix is ready, the orthopedic surgeon can start using it immediately. The mixer will automatically start mixing the cement and will be ready to use it. The mixing process will be much easier than if you are using a manual cement mixer.
