A New Pathway

Patient Friendly and Fiscally Prudent

CERAMENT® G is uniquely designed to simultaneously provide bone remodeling and reliable, consistent and safe local antibiotic elution. Two clinical needs can thus be met in one single surgery which provides a pathway to significant cost savings and improved clinical outcomes.

An FDA-Designated Breakthrough Device

Therapies that treat serious conditions and have demonstrated substantial improvement or is the first of its kind.

CERAMENT® G
DUAL MODE OF ACTION

PROMOTE BONE REMODELING

• Proven bone remodeling4
decor about debridement and injection
Debridement and Injection of CERAMENT® G:

CERAMENT® is highly flowable to completely fill voids and cracks.

decor about bone is healed
Bone remodeling within 12 months:

The calcium sulfate in CERAMENT® is fully resorbed, hydroxyapatite is embedded in bone and natural bone building continues increasing mechanical strength.4

PROTECT BONE HEALING

• Safe and reproducible local antibiotic elution5
