Orthopaedic cement with antimicrobial properties is a surgical adhesive used to secure prosthetic implants to bone during joint replacements or bone repairs. It also helps fill gaps caused by bone damage or infection, such as in infected joint prostheses or osteomyelitis, while reducing the risk of bacterial contamination during surgery.
These devices are single-use, typically made from acrylic polymers like polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with added antimicrobial agents. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with oversight ensuring safety and efficacy in orthopaedic and infection control applications.
