OSTEOPAL® plus is a radiopaque, low-viscosity bonecement, based on polymethyl methacrylate with anextended application phase, used to fill and stabilize vertebral bodies. OSTEOPAL® plus contains zirconium dioxide as an X-ray contrast agent. OSTEOPAL® plus contains the coloring agent chlorophyll VIII (E141) to improve visibility in the surgical field. The bone cement is prepared immediately prior to use by mixing the polymer powder component and the liquid monomer component. A low viscosity paste is applied with the use of application system, placed in the vertebral body, where it cures. OSTEOPAL® plus conforms to ISO 5833 except Annex C
A substance designed to be used in arthroplastic and/or osteosynthetic procedures for the fixation of polymer or metallic implants to the living bone. It may also be intended for use as a filler in the case of bone pathologies (e.g., to stabilize and reinforce vertebral body structures in vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty). It is typically made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), esters of methacrylic acid or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. This device does not contain an antimicrobial agent. After application, this device cannot be reused.
