Stryker HydroSet - HydroSet self-setting, Calcium Phosphate Cranial Cement
HydroSet is a self-setting, calcium phosphate cement intended for use in the repair of neurosurgical burr holes, contiguous craniotomy cuts and other cranial defects as well as in the augmentation or restoration of bony contour in the craniofacial skeleton.
HydroSet is formulated to harden in the presence of water, blood, and CSF, which allows for irrigation/ wash out of the surgery site during setting.2,3
HydroSet has been specifically designed to set quickly once implanted under normal physiological conditions, potentially minimizing procedure time.1
HydroSet is a calcium phosphate cement that hardens to form hydroxyapatite and remodels to natural bone through osteoclastic resorption and new bone formation.1
HydroSet avoids thermal injury as it does not give off any potentially damaging heat as it hardens.1
