Antibiotic-Loaded Bone Cement for Septic Revision
COPAL® G+V is a high-viscosity bone cement for septic revision surgery. It contains a combination of the antibiotics gentamicin and vancomycin. COPAL® G+V is used especially in cases where an infection with vancomycin-sensitive MRSA/MRSE has been detected.
COPAL® G+V is indicated for filling, stabilising or permanently fixing revision joint endoprostheses in surgically cleaned bone cavities which were previously infected by pathogens sensitive to vancomycin and when solely gentamicin-containing cement is considered inadequate or undesirable during single-stage and two-stage replacement procedures.
