Polymer orthopaedic cement restrictors are non-bioabsorbable devices placed inside a bone’s medullary canal during joint replacement surgery to control the flow of bone cement. They help ensure cement remains contained within the intended area, improving implant stability and reducing risks like cement leakage or over-pressurization during insertion.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, often requiring compliance with standards for biocompatibility, structural integrity, and radiographic visibility. They are supplied sterile and come in various shapes—such as straight, tapered, or fenestrated—to fit different surgical techniques, though they are not designed for spinal applications.
