OpaCem
PMMA Bone Cement
With our continuous research and experience, we have been able to develop the new upgraded PMMA Bone Cement OpaCem.
The OpaCem cement includes 60% of X-ray contrast agent Zirconium Dioxide which allows to visualize the cement under fluoroscopy more clearly and determine the exact placement of cement.
Indications
Severely painful osteoporotic compression fractures Painful vertebral body tumors(metastasis or myeloma) Symptomatic Vertebral Hemangioma
Features
High radiopaque cement includes 60% of ZrO2 Optimized viscosity for Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty Short mixing and preparing time allows to inject the cement immediately Good mechanical properties
Chart of handling time at Various Temperature
Times shown in the chart were obtained by 2 hours storage at 20º before use condition
High radiopacity property
Pic 1 shows the AI step-wedge by 3, 4, 5, 6mm and below Pic shows the brightness of each product which can be compared to AI step-wedge
