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*
PALACOS® LV+G is indicated for surgical treatment such as
- anchoring of endoprosthesis in primary and revision arthroplasty procedures of hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow
- reconstruction of bone via induced membrane technique after tumor surgery and/or trauma
