Coloured polymethylmethacrylate bone cement and method for preparing the same

摘要

A bone cement used in surgical applications is prepared from polymethyl-methacrylate powder. The polymer surface incorporates a mixture of one or more dyes and a hydrophobic, low-molecular or oligomer organic bonding promotion agent. The polymer product is visually recognizable and identifiable and retains an undistorted profile. An independent claim is included for a method of coloring a polymethyl methacrylate-based bone cement.
