Closed mixing systems, such as the PALACOS® pro All-In-One-Fixation-SystemTM, provide protection not just for the cement during mixing and setting but also for the patient and staff in the operating room. 

Research studies have shown significant bacterial and particulate counts inside the OR and that contamination of the back-table is time dependent.3,4 Additionally, 97% of the delegates to the 2018 International Consensus Meeting on PJI expressed concern that particles such as cement may cause contamination after becoming aerosolized, contacting unsterile surfaces, and falling onto sterile equipment or into the wound.5 Our enclosed system minimizes the risk of contamination by providing safe and contactless handling.

Closed mixing systems also greatly reduce staff and patient exposure to MMA fumes. The PALACOS® pro All-In-One-Fixation-SystemTM has been shown to reduce MMA fumes significantly compared to other preloaded, contained systems2.
