EASYMIX® - Vacuum mixing can be so simple.
As an integral part of modern cementing technique the vacuum mixing of bone cement is said to bring about an improvement in cement properties1,2. This is due to the fact that vacuum mixing produces a homogeneous, virtually void-free cement3-5.
The Swedish hip register points to a 26% reduction in the risk factor for revisions in the case of vacuum mixing compared to hand mixing6!
EASYMIX® is an innovative mixing system that makes it simple to achieve high quality in bone cement.
The benefits for you:
- Easy to operate (see mixing instructions in EASYMIX® Folder).
- Can be used with all types of bone cement.
- Maximum possible safety through minimised exposure to monomer.
- Flexible range of individual sets and modules ensures minimal waste.
For further information please request our EASYMIX® Folder.
