Why Use CarboJet CO2 Compressed Gas Lavage to Clean Bone?
• Potential for Increased Cement Penetration Into the Bone Bed • Reduced Opportunity for Micro-Emboli A compressed CO2 gas jet is more effective at removing fluid and fluid-suspended debris from a porous matrix than a liquid cleaning jet. The liquid jet is useful for “washing” of gross debris, but is much less effective at removing fluid debris in the interstices of cancellous bone. The fluid jet works in a porous structure by incremental mixing, dilution and displacement. The compressed gas jet accomplishes fluid- debris removal by creating strong, fluctuating pressure gradients, displacing debris rapidly and more thoroughly.
