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
1
High radiopaque cement includes 60% of ZrO2
2
