VersaBond AB Bone Cement consists of two pre-measured, sterile components: polymer powder and monomer liquid. Components are mixed by clinician to form radiopaque, rapidly setting bone cement. Used in clinical setting for total joint arthroplasty revision procedures. Antibiotic (gentamicin) is incorporated into cement matrix to assist in second-stage revision after infection clearance. Provides mechanical fixation of prosthetic implants to bone.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement; two-component system (polymer powder and monomer liquid); radiopaque; antibiotic-loaded (gentamicin).
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of prostheses to living bone during the second stage of a two-stage revision for total joint arthroplasty following clearance of initial infection.
Regulatory Classification
