Features
Cemex® System EVO is the result of over 30 years of expertise in advanced closed cementation systems. Designed to meet the needs of modern surgeons, Cemex® System EVO HV contains High Viscosity bone cement with a seamless, user-friendly active mixing process. Its intuitive application, aided by a precision applicator gun and pre-cutted cannula, ensures ease and control every step of the way. Plus, the stable green color enhances visibility for greater surgical precision. Cemex® System Evo is a closed, syringe-like system device for the preparation, mixing and application of the bone cements. Due to the system structure itself, the cement components are isolated from outside contamination or influences, allowing the surgeon to prepare and apply the cement without coming into contact with it.
Each device package contains:
- A closed, syringe-like system, with separate compartments for the powder and liquid components;
- A pre-cutted cannula for the extrusion of the bone cement. This can be used to facilitate the extrusion directly in situ;
- A pusher-rod to assist the extrusion of any residual bone cement from the cannula;
- A vacuum tube (the device can be connected to a vacuum source or it can be used without vacuum during mixing step).
