Thanks Devin. We'll be fine with the one we have made for 13 years and sold around the world to replace it.Go into account this morning to check on cement levels. Hospital informs me they will just buy direct from Hareus in future.
WTF, the one product that was not on constant backorder is now taken from us?!?
This company is a damn joke!!!!
I saw on the news that amazon wants to be a distibutor of all medical products and devices......including hips and knees. I could see this happening. It already has in some ways. Heard they called all the big companies to Seattle for a meeting about it. Cutting out the middle guy.
Palacos is the best cement out there
Contact your Smith & Nephew rep for RALLY cement.
What is that supposed to mean?Especially if you like random setups at 9 minutes, you’ll love it!

Lol. Sorry quick set doesn't work for you or your surgeon. If you think someone who does 6-8 knees a day is going to wait 15minutes for cement to get hard your living in the past. Gone are the days of 2 hour knees. 30 minute torniquete all you should need to do a quality TKA in 2018. Starting this year we now advertise outpatient total knees as well with a billing code for it. No need for more then 24 hours at the hospital. Welcome to modern TKA Surgury.
It means Rally cement is shit. Just run good cement (Palacos) under power mixer for a minute and a half... it’ll set up quick... but consistent. Rally set times are all over the place. It’s cheap crapLol. Sorry quick set doesn't work for you or your surgeon. If you think someone who does 6-8 knees a day is going to wait 15minutes for cement to get hard your living in the past.

Non-sticky cement is a good thing?? if it doesn’t stick to your gloves is it really going to stick to your implants? I want my zb implants surgeons are implanting to, you know, stay in place. Use palacos, sticky cement is a good thing.Used the new cement in a case the other day, it was awesome! Mixed very creamy, did not stick to the surgeons glove like Palacos and fortunately didn’t set up early.
are u serious? What kind of statement is “if it doesnt stick to a surgeon’s gloves, how can you expect it to stick to the implant?” How green are you? A cement’s stickiness in the first 2-5 minutes has NOTHING to do with how it will be once it is fully cured. In case you don’t know, bone cement is a plastic, and it heats up in the process, but you know it all......
It's called bone CEMENT for a reason. It doesn't adhere to anything when polymerized. It's a grout.What the fuck does it heating up have to do with anything? If pmma doesn’t adhere to the surfaces you are cementing when it is in the application phase it doesn’t matter at all how it will be when fully cured.
