Orthopaedic cement (non-antimicrobial) is a surgical adhesive used to secure implants like joint replacements or metallic fixtures directly to bone. It also fills gaps or stabilizes damaged bone structures, such as in spinal procedures like vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, where bone strength needs reinforcement.
These devices are typically single-use, self-curing polymers like polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and are classified based on their intended use and risk profile. They are supplied as kits or pre-mixed pastes, often requiring on-site preparation before application during surgery.
