COPAL®G+C - High-viscosity revision cement
- Effective antimicrobial prophylaxis for revision surgeries
- Addition of gentamicin and clindamycin: bactericide effective against more than 90% of clinically relevant germs
- Excellent mechanical properties for stable anchoring of the prosthesis
- Highly viscous revision cement based on PALACOS® R
- Studies have proven the benefits:
According to a current study, COPAL® G+C inhibits bacteria growth more effectively and for longer and also decreases the formation of biofilm even more than is already the case with PALACOS® R.
