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. 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 Medical 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.

Prevention in Risk for Infection Procedures with COPAL® G+C

COPAL® G+C bone cement containing two antibiotics has long been used for revisions after replacement of hip or knee joints And now has proven that patients at risk of infection benefit from bone cement with a combination of antibiotics.

Heraeus with its extensive experience in the field of therapeutic support with local antibiotics, further provides high quality training and supports international knowledge projects on PJI.
