palaJet® AC comprises two product components: the established palaJet® handpiece, available as a single-use item, and the reusable palaJet® AC Power Adapter. This version enables the use of existing power sources in the operating theatre instead of batteries, potentially saving up to over half a million batteries per year.* The operation and handling of the new palaJet® AC system remain identical to the existing palaJet® system, with a flow rate of 1,300 ml/min and a flushing pressure of up to 15 psi.
The palaJet® AC Pulse Lavage System is compatible with the existing accessories of the palaJet® portfolio and can be used in the same manner. The palaJet® AC Power Adapter is reusable and can be ordered separately as an individual component.
Lavage systems such as palaJet® from Heraeus Medical are used in joint replacement surgery for cleaning the bone bed and are a key element of modern cementing techniques.
palaJet® AC is already the second expansion of the palaJet® portfolio. Since the beginning of the year, separately orderable knee and hip attachments for the palaJet® system have been available globally, and these are also compatible with palaJet® AC.
