COPAL - Model G+C -High-Viscosity Bone Cement with Antibiotics for Infection Management

The COPAL G+C is a high-viscosity bone cement formulated with an antibiotic combination of 1 g gentamicin and 1 g clindamycin, designed to manage infections in arthroplasty procedures. Its distinctive green color is due to the inclusion of colorant E141. This product offers a broad spectrum of activity against pathogens that cause infections post-hip and knee replacement surgeries. The simultaneous release of gentamicin and clindamycin addresses up to 90% of pathogens found in prosthetic joint infections (PJI). It provides an initial high local antibiotic output to prevent bacterial colonization on implants and adjacent tissue. This antibiotic-loaded cement is particularly beneficial for high-risk patients undergoing primary arthroplasty, trauma cases involving femoral neck fractures, and aseptic revisions. While indications may vary by region, the product aims at enhancing infection control and ensuring effective surgical outcomes.
