Functional description

PALACOS R+G pro is the fast-curing radiopaque poly(methyl methacrylate) based PALACOS R+G bone cement, packed in a closed mixing and application system ready-to-mix. Contains the antibiotic gentamicin for protection of the cured cement and contiguous tissue against colonisation by microorganisms sensitive to gentamicin. The cement is prepared directly before use by mixing a polymer powder component with a liquid monomer component. This forms a ductile dough, which sets within a few minutes.
