Alcasis Genta With Antibiotic 41g
Alcasis Genta Bone Cement is a
PMMA bone cement available with antibiotics (Gentamicin) in two different
viscosities to accommodate surgeons' preferences. All our cements meet or
exceed the International ISO 5833 Standard for PMMA bone cements.
We offer two viscosities for
various applications, ensuring a short residence time and efficient
application. The packaging is stable and easy to use, with liquid in one
ampoule and powder in one Tyvek sachet. Our products are manufactured in
accredited facilities, adhering to leading European and international
standards.
Alcasis Genta Bone Cement
Performance Viscosity is a crucial characteristic for surgeons, and we provide
both standard and low viscosity bone cements, with or without antibiotics,
catering to the diverse needs of surgeons.
All our cements conform to the
International ISO 5833 PMMA standard, defining physical, mechanical, packaging,
and labeling requirements for bone cements.
To prevent necrosis of
surrounding tissue, International Standard ISO 5833 (2002) sets a curing
temperature limit of 90 °C for bone cements. The highest exothermic temperature
of Alcasis Genta Cement variants is well below this limit.
Our antibiotic bone cements,
containing Gentamicin, effectively cover approximately 62% of all gram-negative
bacteria. The addition of Gentamicin prevents bacterial adherence to the cement
surface and surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and
infection. We limit the antibiotic amount to 2.44% of the total powder volume
to ensure effective antibiotics without compromising mechanical strength.
Genta Cement offers a high
antibiotic release that steadily decreases over time. Burst release initially
reduces the risk of resistant bacterial strains, while extended release helps
maintain a physiologically relevant local antibiotic concentration for adequate
prophylaxis.
Each Alcasis Genta Bone Cement
package includes a bowl and spatula made from acid-resistant raw materials.
