SYNICEM bone cements
SYNICEM bone cements are manufactured under strictly controlled conditions using proprietary process. Indicated for use in bone cementation and prosthesis fixation, they provide a tight mechanical fit between the irregular bone surface and the prosthesis.
Perfect partner for your prosthesis fixation
Biocomposites is an international medical device company from UK that engineers, manufactures and markets world leading products for use in infection management in bone and soft tissue. Biocomposites products are now used in over 1 million procedures every year and sold in more than 100 countries around the world.
High performance fixation in infected & non-infected cases
Developed to provide an ideal interface between prosthesis and bone, SYNICEM bone cements are optmised to provide secure and stable fixation for joint replacement surgery.
The SYNICEM bone cement range includes gentamicin-loaded cements for revision procedures in patients at high risk of infection due to gentamicin-sensitive bacteria and patients with compromised immunity.(1,2)
High and low viscosities for flexible application and use.
Choice of setting times and consistencies to suit individual applications or cases, allowing for high hold with manual placement or deep placement with a syringe or vacuum mixing application system.
Gentamicin-loaded options to support cases with high risk of infection.
Available preloaded with gentamicin to support cases in patients with compromised immunity or revision cases in patients with a high risk of infection.
Optimum working time and predictable performance.
SYNICEM bone cements allow sufficient time to work into position with well characterised ambient temperature-dependent setting profiles.
Highest standards of quality assurance from raw materials to finished product.
Committed to the highest international certifications of quality, reliability and efficacy. End-to-end oversight of the design, development and manufacturing processes guarantees the highest quality at every stage.
