V-FAST

Clinical application

Bone cement optimized to perform delicate procedures that require a good time margin before polymerization (e.g.: multiple vertebral levels)

Composition

Powder component 26,0g bag contains:

Poly (methacrylic acid methyl ester)

Zirconium dioxide

Dibenzoyl peroxide

Liquid component 10ml vial contains:

Methacrylic-acid-methyl-ester-stabilized-with 1,4 - Dihydroxybenzene

Benzenamine, N, N, 4 - trimethyl

Features

· LOW VISCOSITY acrylic-based radiopaque bone cement.

· High concentration and homogenous distribution of contrast medium (ZrO2) for an optimal radiovisibility.

· Low polymerization temperature that reduce the risk of thermal shock on the tissues.

· Mixing time: less than 1min. to obtain a homogeneous product.

· Charging time: charge immediately the cement injector

· Start to use: wait until 5-6 min to inject (depending on room temperature)

· Optimal working time: 12 minutes, thanks to its specific formulation that “pauses” the polymerization reaction (depending on room temperature). 

· Completely hardens: 13-18 minutes (depending on room temperature).
