Functional description

PALACOS MV+G pro is a fast-curing radiopaque poly(methyl methacrylate) based PALACOS MV+G bone cement, packed in a closed mixing and application system ready 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 minutes.
