Orthopaedic cement compressor

Orthopaedic cement compressors are typically made of compressible silicone rubber that conforms to the shape of cut bone, with cement injected through the device into the bone cavity using a syringe whilst pressure is applied via a backplate or stainless steel handle. These devices are used during total hip replacement procedures to compress orthopaedic bone cement within the acetabulum and/or femur in order to optimise the interdigitation of the cement into the inner bone structure and improve fixation of the implant.
