AMPLIFIX® 3 and AMPLIFIX® 3 with Gentamicin surgical cement are used to anchor orthopaedic implants during hip arthroplasty
AMPLIFIX® 3 and AMPLIFIX® 3 with Gentamicin are sterile, radiopaque surgical cements.
Because the AMPLIFIX® 3 Gentamicin version contains an antibiotic, it provides infection prophylaxis.
The AMPLIFIX® 3 and AMPLIFIX® 3 with Gentamicin package consists of two components:
- Powdered polymer (gamma sterilised) in a double-sterile bag (protective aluminium wrapping and PE bag)
- Liquid monomer (ethylene oxide sterilised) in a glass ampoule
It must be stored in its original packaging in the dark at a temperature below 25°C.
