CarboJet Clinical Publications

The clinical evidence behind CarboJet is strong, especially when considered as a whole.  Help your customers “connect the dots” between their everyday concerns (aseptic loosening  and the hazards of tourniquet use) and the proven effects of using CarboJet (deeper cement penetration and stronger bone-cement interface strength).  Additional benefits regarding micro-emboli, OCA, and OR time are also clinically supported.
