Antibiotic-Loaded Bone Cement for Infection Management in Arthroplasty Procedures

COPAL® G+C has a very broad spectrum of activity against most clinically relevant germs that can cause infection after hip and knee replacement. In combination, both antibiotics may target up to 90% of all pathogens typically found in PJI.1 An initial high local antibiotic release supports infection protection against bacterial colonisation of implants and adjacent tissue, which may be caused by gentamicin- and/or clindamycin-sensitive pathogens.2

The use of COPAL® G+C can reduce the risk of infection, e.g. in high-risk patients in primary arthroplasty procedures,3,4 in trauma cases after femoral neck fracture,5,6,7 and in aseptic revisions.4,8

Indications*

COPAL® G+C is indicated for surgical treatment such as 

  • anchoring of endoprosthesis in primary and revision arthroplasty procedures of hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow
