V-Fast and V-Fix are acrylic-based radiopaque bone cements with a low initial viscosity and a long working time. They are particularly suitable for extremely delicate procedures, where a wide time margin before polymerization is required. It’s particularly indicated, for example, when performing procedures on several vertebral levels
V-FIX™ has the longest working time among the cements available in our range today.
V-FAST™ has a slightly shorter waiting and working times and, compared to V-FIX™, it is indicated in such-a-case which require a reduced surgical time.
Characteristics:
Prolonged maintenance of the viscosity property, developed in such a way that it remains constant during the surgical application, guaranteeing the operator the control of the cement distribution inside the vertebral body;
Extended usage time (V-FAST bone cement is characterized by a reduced time of polymerization compared to V-FIX bone cement);
High concentration and homogeneous distribution of the contrast agent which allows an optimal visualization on the radioscopic monitoring devices;
Low polymerisation temperature so as to reduce the risk of thermal shock on the tissues.
