PALACOS® LV+G – Low-Viscosity Bone Cement with Gentamicin
low-viscosity bone cement
radiopaque
containing the antibiotic gentamicin
colored green (colorant E141)
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 is indicated for use as bone cement in arthroplasty procedures of the hip, knee and other joints to fix plastic and metal prosthetic parts to living bone when reconstruction is necessary. The cement is indicated for use in the second stage of a two stage revision for total joint arthroplasty after the initial infection has been cleared.
