After complete polymerization, the cement acts as a buffer for even weight distribution and other stresses between the prosthesis and the bone. ## Device Story Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement is a medium-viscosity, methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer-based acrylic bone cement. It consists of two premeasured, sterilized components that are mixed by the surgeon in an orthopedic clinical setting to form a fast-setting, radiopaque material. Once applied, the cement polymerizes to provide fixation between prosthetic components and living bone, acting as a buffer for weight distribution and stress reduction. It is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons during joint arthroplasty or fracture fixation procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical laboratory testing demonstrating device functionality. ## Technological Characteristics Methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer-based acrylic bone cement; medium viscosity; radiopaque; two-component system; sterilized; manual mixing; polymerization-based fixation. ## Regulatory Identification Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.” ## Predicate Devices - Cobalt™ HV Bone Cement ([K051496](/device/K051496.md)) - Simplex® P Radiopaque Bone Cement (N17004) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Simplex® P Radiopaque Bone Cement N17004* Stryker Howmedica Osteonics Device Description: Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement is a methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer based acrylic bone cement with a medium viscosity. Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement provides two separate, premeasured sterilized components that when mixed form fast-setting radiopaque bone cement for use in orthopedic surgery. Intended Use: Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement is an acrylic cement-like substance which allows seating and fixation of the prosthesis to the bone. After complete polymerization, the cement acts as a buffer for even weight distribution and other stresses between the prosthesis and the bone. Indications for Use: Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement is indicated for use as bone cement in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee and other joints to fix plastic and metal prosthetic parts to living bone when reconstruction is necessary because of osteoarthritis, theumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, nonunion of fractures of the neck and of the femur, sickle cell anemia osteoporosis, secondary severe joint destruction following trauma or other conditions (also for fixation of unstable fractures in metastatic malignancies), and revision of previous arthroplasty procedures. Summary of Technologies: The technological characteristics of Cobalt™ MV Bone Cement are similar or identical to the predicate devices. Non-Clinical Testing: Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence. The results indicated that the device was functional within its intended use. Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. *Approved prior to the downdassification of PMMA bone cements.
