# STRYKER SIMPLEX P40 BONE CEMENT 

 * IT IS AVAILABLE IN 20 & 40 GRAMS PACKET , BUT WE HAVE ONLY   40GRAMS AVAILABLE .

  To meet the desired specifications of clients related to modern cementing techniques and implantation, we offer a wide range of Simplex P - 40 gms. These Simplex P - 40 gms are specially designed with antibiotic loading which make these ideal to reduce the risk of infection in any sort of operations. Made following international industry standards, these can easily survive in any exothermic temperature and assures optimum performance. Modern cementing mixing systems of this Simplex P - 40 gms assures the clinical success of cemented arthroplasty.

  Bone cement is a material used in orthopedic surgery to bridge gaps between prosthetic implants and surrounding bone. It is generally utilised in joint replacement procedures, such as hip and knee replacements, to lock the implant in place and give stability.

  Bone cement is normally composed of a powdered polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and a liquid monomer, most often methyl methacrylate (MMA). When these two components are united, a chemical reaction known as polymerization occurs, causing the mixture to harden into a solid cement-like substance.

  To make bone cement, a particular mixture of PMMA powder and liquid monomer is mixed to create the necessary consistency. When the cement has been mixed, it is applied to the prepared bone surface or the prosthesis, and the implant is put into the bone while the cement is still semi-liquid. As the cement hardens, a strong link is formed between the prosthesis and the bone, providing rapid attachment and stability.

Bone Cement Benefits & Risks Here are some of the benefits of using bone cement:

• Bone cement’s major role is to hold prosthetic implants in place, such as those used in hip and knee replacements. Bone cement improves stability and increases load distribution across the bone-implant interface by filling the gaps between the implant and the surrounding bone.
• Because every patient’s anatomy is different, orthopaedic surgeons might use bone cement to correct abnormalities and gaps between the implant and the bone. This procedure enhances the prosthesis’ overall fit and stability, reducing stress on the surrounding bone and lowering the likelihood of implant loosening.
• Bone cement has the advantage of providing instant load-bearing capacity, allowing patients to restore mobility sooner following surgery. The solidified cement offers initial fixation, allowing patients to bear weight on the replacement joint quickly after the treatment.
• When used correctly, bone cement can act as a barrier, keeping bacteria from entering the joint space. This barrier minimises the danger of infection and increases the implant’s lifetime.

 While bone cement has substantially enhanced orthopaedic   treatments,its limitations and accompanying considerations must be   acknowledged:

• Bone cement may wear, fatigue, or degrade with time, compromising its integrity and potentially leading to implant failure or loosening. To address these challenges, researchers are constantly looking for ways to improve the lifetime and durability of bone cement.
• During the implantation process, bone cement may seep into the surrounding tissues in some circumstances. While this is a rare event, it can lead to complications and necessitates immediate medical intervention.
• Although rare, some people may develop allergic reactions to bone cement components. Adequate patient evaluation and screening can help reduce the likelihood of adverse effects.

# SUBITON GUN :

-> SYRINGE APPLICATION CEMENT.
     Specifically designed for hip replacements. Recommended application in                          combination with Subimix V (vacuum mixing and delivery system).

• Longer working time.
• Increased cement intrusion to the bone, increasing prosthesis lifetime.

 

Subiton cements are used for bone cementations and fixations. Its use is advised in Orthopedics and other surgical specialties, when fixation of prosthetics elements with sterile setting material is sought.
