MicroAire® High Speed Pulse Lavage System is a reasonably priced high-pressure rinsing system for preparing the implant site in joint replacement operations. It can also be used for other purposes such as rinsing dirty or contaminated wounds in a way that is gentle on the tissue, for cleaning infected wound areas or for cooling the operation area while bone is being worked on with instruments.

In cemented endoprosthetics (hip, knee, revisions) cleaning the implant site rinses out preparation-related detritus and bone marrow. Intensive cleansing of the bone surface by hi-pressure pulse lavage prior to cementing increases the depth to which the bone cement penetrates into the bone, improving the interconnection of cement and bone and thus increasing the strength of the bone-cement interface. It reduces blood penetration into the cement, thereby increasing the bone cement’s mechanical strength. In addition, intensive lavage helps to prevent fat embolisms and circulation problems.

MicroAire® High Speed Pulse Lavage is operated with a pulse lavage handset that is available for many different systems of compressed air supplies.
(Flow rate 500 ml/min, 3,000 pulses/min).
