Overview

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based bone cement is a widely used biomaterial due to its ease of use in clinical practice and its long survival rate, especially with prosthetics. Bone cements have been used successfully to anchor artificial joints for more than half a century: the cement fills the free space between the prosthesis and the bone and acts as an elastic zone. SkyBoneCement is a radiopaque PMMA bone cement supplied in three viscosity variants, as two lines — SkyPureBond without antibiotic and SkyCureBond with gentamicin sulphate.

Product Line

One PMMA platform, two lines, three viscosities.

SkyBoneCementPlatform

The PMMA platform behind both lines. Two components: liquid monomer and powdered polymer. The liquid consists of methyl methacrylate with dimethyl-para-toluidine as activator and hydroquinone as stabiliser; the powder consists of PMMA with dibenzoyl peroxide and a barium sulphate radiopacifier.

SkyPureBondStandard

Standard bone cement, without antibiotic. Indicated for vertebroplasty, cranioplasty, kyphoplasty and orthopaedic use. Model codes SH, SM and SL by viscosity, in 20, 40 and 60 gr.

SkyCureBondAntibiotic

Antibiotic bone cement containing gentamicin sulphate, to support infection control. Model codes SAM20, SAM40 and SAM60.

	Indication	SkyPureBond	SkyCureBond	Preparation ends	Application ends	Final set

All variants supplied in 20, 40 and 60 gr. Setting times are the values marked in the product catalogue; unmarked intermediate boundaries are shown as “—”. Refer to the Instructions for Use for the full intended purpose, contraindications and warnings.

Technical Highlights

Three viscosities, one platformHigh viscosity for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, medium for arthroplasty, low for cranioplasty — the same PMMA chemistry across all three, so a single supplier covers the range.

With or without antibioticSkyPureBond is the standard cement; SkyCureBond adds gentamicin sulphate to the powder for infection control. Same viscosities, same sizes, separate model codes.

RadiopaqueBarium sulphate radiopacifier in the powder component gives high radio-opacity under imaging.

Appropriate working timePreparation, application and setting differ by viscosity — from a 1.5-minute preparation and 11-minute final set at high viscosity, to a 15-minute final set at low viscosity.
