EASYMIX® is an effective yet extremely reasonably priced bone cement mixing system that is easy to use. It consists of an EASYMIX® vacuum pump, and EASYMIX® cement gun and various cartridge sets.
EASYMIX® is easy to handle. Just a few easy moves produce an excellent mixing result. It takes only 20 seconds to mix a fully homogeneous cement mass. The EASYMIX® pump works evenly and reliably at supply pressures in the range of 5 to10 bar. It has a return valve, so it does not have to be operated continuously, but only for 20 seconds to evacuate the mixing system. The active carbon filter, in combination with a sterile filter, has a particularly high capacity for binding monomer fumes. The closed system minimizes the emission of monomer fumes into the surrounding and therefore operating room personnel’s exposure to monomer fumes.

EASYMIX® is economical. It cuts the cement residue in the system to a minimum. By utilizing cement more efficiently, EASYMIX® permits more economical use of bone cement than conventional systems do.
EASYMIX® is available in one- or two-cartridge packs for up to 80 grams of bone cement powder and all disposable items required for mixing and introducing the cement in a vacuum. There is also an individually packed cartridge with which, if desired, the bone cement can be applied correctly in a distal to proximal direction even without a vacuum. If cement is to be mixed without vacuum, EASYMIX® without vacuum is currently the only closed system available that almost entirely prevents the emission of monomer fumes into the surroundings.

EASYMIX® is reasonably priced, reliable and easy to use.
We would like to point out especially that combining the Refobacin® Bone Cement R (responsible manufacturer: Biomet Europe) that we market with Gentamicin or Biomet Bone Cement R (manufacturer: Biomet Europe) and EASYMIX® makes it possible to vacuum mix a bone cement of standard viscosity without pre-cooling provided that the mixing system is used properly and that the room temperature is below 22º C. In these conditions, even without pre-cooling the cement vacuum mixing demonstrably produces neither inhomogeneity in the cement matrix nor increased porosity (greater proportion of trapped air).
