The injectable cement market pertains to a specialized segment within the broader medical infusions and injectables sector, primarily focused on orthopedic and dental applications. These cements are typically used for the fixation of prosthetic devices in various orthopedic surgeries, including joint arthroplasty and spinal surgeries, as they provide immediate structural support and stability to the implanted devices. Injectable bone cements are also utilized in vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures to treat vertebral compression fractures. The composition of these cements generally includes a polymer-based powder and a liquid monomer which, when mixed, polymerize to form a hardened substance. In addition to their structural function, some injectable cements may be impregnated with antibiotics to reduce the risk of post-surgical infections.
