Abstract
New medical self-polymerizable sealing cement with an acrylic polymer and/or copolymer base, applicable for prosthetic implants, which is obtained by mixing a liquid phase and a solid phase. The liquid phase, being viscous, forms a collodion of an acrylic polymer and/or copolymer in at least one monomer, while the solid phase is composed of an acrylic polymer and/or copolymer possibly containing a mineral load. The new cement is not dangerous for the patient, due to an absence of monomer exudation and due to a polymerization temperature which is always lower than the mobilization temperature of human fat.
Claims9
The method of preparing an acrylic homopolymer and/or copolymer base self-polymerizable sealing cement, applicable for prosthetic implants, the purpose of which is the safety of the patient due to the absence of monomer exudation and due to a polymerization temperature which is always lower than the mobilization temperature of human fat, said cement being prepared by mixing a liquid phase and a solid phase in a weight ratio range of 1 to 0.5-2.5, in which the liquid phase is a collodion formed of an acrylic homopolymer and/or copolymer selected from the group consisting of polyalkylacrylate, polyalkylmethacrylate and copolymers consisting of alkylacrylates and/or alkylmethacrylates in which the alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl in at least one acrylic monomer selected from the group consisting of alkylacrylate and alkylmethacrylate in which the alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl consisting of at least 65% by weight of acrylic monomer and between 15% and 35% by weight of acrylic homopolymer and/or copolymer, and in which the solid phase is composed of an acrylic homopolymer and/or copolymer selected from the group consisting of polyalkylacrylate, polyalkylmethacrylate and copolymers consisting of alkylacrylates and/or alkylmethacrylates.
