A bone cement syringe kit is used in orthopedic surgery to inject bone cement to the site of a bone fracture or joint replacement. Bone cement, also known as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), is a biocompatible substance that is often used to stabilise shattered bones or fix prosthetic implants such as hip or knee replacements.
The syringe is a plastic container that holds the bone cement. It is built to resist the pressure required to inject the cement into the surgical site. To ensure accurate cement distribution, the syringe is generally calibrated with measurement indications.
