Heraeus Medical brings value to the patient, the healthcare professional and the health care system by providing solutions for the fixation of joint implants, driving infection management and by pioneering regenerative treatments for bone, cartilage and soft tissue

Orthopaedic pain should not be a lifetime sentence.

Treatments for muscoskeletal degeneration are highly specialized, costly and resources are restricted. Patients have to live with pain and loss of ability for long periods of time. Therefore Heraeus has embraced this challenge and will develop effective, safe and affordable orthobiologic solutions.

Preventing infections from the outset - trust PALACOS

PALACOS® bone cement is probably the best-known product from Heraeus and considered the Gold Standard for joint arthroplasty. For decades PALACOS® bone cement with Gentamicin allows for effective infection prophylaxis through local application of antibiotics. Recent data from the National Joint Registry (NJR) demonstrate that PALACOS® R+G has a significantly lower revision rate in comparison to all other cement brands in hip and knee replacements.

PALAMIX – the next generation: Mixing and collecting under vacuum

PALAMIX® is the secret behind optimal processing of Heraeus bone cements.

The new PALAMIX® vacuum mixing system makes vacuum mixing and application of bone cement more convenient: Both the mixing of the components and the collection of the bone cement is carried out under vacuum.

Infection Management – Managing implant and tissue infections

The successful treatment of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) necessitates a targeted approach with accurate and exact diagnostic results to ensure an effective antibiotic use and a sustainable infect eradication. Heraeus with its extensive experience in the field of therapeutic support with local antibiotics, provides high quality training and supports international knowledge projects on PJI.
