20090105369 | Polymethylmethacrylate Bone Cements - What is described is a PMMA bone cement, containing at least one homopolymer or one copolymer having a glass transition temperature of more than 45° C., and at least one biocompatible elastomer that has a glass transition temperature of less than 37° C. and is soluble or insoluble in alkylmethacrylates and/or alkyldimethacrylates and/or alkyltrimethacrylates and/or alkyltetramethacrylates and has a residual monomer content of less than 5 percent. The PMMA bone cement is preferably used as self-curing plastic material for the fixation of primary total articular endoprostheses and revision total articular endoprostheses. Moreover, the PMMA bone cement can be used as self-curing filling material for vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty or femoral neck augmentation as well as for the production of temporary place-holders for two-stage revisions of total articular endoprostheses. | 04-23-2009 |
20100159027 | SPORICIDAL COMPOSITIONS AND USE THEREOF - What is described are sporicidal compositions, in which hydrogen peroxide and at least one radical stabilizer are homogeneously dissolved in a methacrylate monomer or a mixture of methacrylate monomers, and the quantitative ratio of radical stabilizer to hydrogen peroxide is larger than or equal to 1 to 1. The sporicidal monomer/monomer mixture is usually used for producing single component bone cement pastes; two-component bone cement pastes or monomer solutions for polymethylmethacrylate bone cements that are based on cement powder and monomer liquid. Moreover, a sporicidal cement paste having the following components is proposed:
