Since its introduction over 60 years ago in Germany, PALACOS bone cement has been used in arthroplasty surgery and is now available in over 90 countries worldwide. In 2024, for the first time, the number of PALACOS bone cement used exceeded 40 million documented arthroplasty surgeries worldwide.
PALACOS bone cements have been based on an original formula and manufacturing process since their market introduction. Since then, the PALACOS product line from Heraeus Medical has been continuously developed, adding various viscosities and product variants with and without gentamicin. With the All-in-One Fixation System PALACOS pro introduced in 2012, PALACOS bone cement with and without gentamicin is additionally offered as a closed mixing and application system.
“40 million surgeries worldwide using PALACOS bone cements are a fantastic achievement that we are very proud of,” said Andrew Williamson, Managing Director of Heraeus Medical. “The fact that the PALACOS brand developed so strongly and has helped to give back patients worldwide their mobility motivates us daily to continue working on the success of PALACOS.”
