Antibiotic-Loaded PALACOS® with Low Viscosity

Compared to the high- and medium-viscosity PALACOS® bone cements, PALACOS® LV+G hardens slower1 and is also easier to mix as it has a lower initial viscosity.2

PALACOS® LV+G further contains the antibiotic gentamicin which protects the cured bone cement and surrounding tissue against the colonisation of a broad spectrum of bacteria.3

Indications

The use of PALACOS® LV+G with gentamicin is indicated for

  • stable anchoring of total or partial joint endoprostheses in bone or filling and stabilising bone defects within the scope of internal fixation treatment or for endoprostheses revision surgery
  • primary and secondary plastic reconstruction of bone defects.
