Stryker HydroSet Step-by-step Manual

HydroSet Mixing Instructions

A Step-By-Step Guide

Indications for Use

HydroSet is a self-setting calcium phosphate cement indicated
to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system (i.e. extremities,
craniofacial, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically
created or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the
bony. HydroSet is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not
intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.

HydroSet cured in situ provides an open void/gap filler that can
augment provisional hardware (e.g. K. wires, plates, screws)
to help support bone fragments during the surgical procedure.
The cured cement acts only as a temporary support media and is

not intended to provide structural support during the healing process.
HydroSet is a self-setting calcium phosphate cement intended for

use in the repair of neurosurgical burr holes, contiguous craniotomy
cuts and other cranial defects as well in the augmentation or
restoration of bony contour in the craniofacial skeleton.

Note

For optimal performance store HydroSet between
18-22˚C for at least 1.5 hours prior to surgery .
Please see the pack insert for detailed information.
