Handling Properties of Polymethylmetacrylate Bone Cements

  • Conference paper

Abstract

According to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 5833 (1992), every manufacturer of bone cement is obliged to present a detailed and if possible graphic representation of the handling properties of the cement for the user. This is undoubtedly necessary as the nurse in the operating theatre mixes the two-component materials and thus produces the final product. For this purpose, we have worked out a method of testing the handling properties. On that basis, we have described the handling behaviour of all bone cements on the market. Moreover, we think it is important to show the influencing factors and their effects on the quality of the final product.
