Stimulan
Stimulan is a fully synthetic, absorbable calcium sulfate bone void filler widely used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries to manage infection and promote bone healing. Unlike traditional PMMA antibiotic beads, Stimulan is 100% resorbable, meaning it dissolves naturally in the body over time without requiring surgical removal. Surgeons mix Stimulan with antibiotics such as vancomycin, gentamicin, or tobramycin to create personalized, high-dose local antibiotic delivery that directly targets infected bone and soft tissue.
Its unique formulation allows it to release antibiotics rapidly and evenly, helping eliminate biofilm-forming bacteria commonly associated with chronic osteomyelitis, prosthetic joint infections, and complex fracture infections. Stimulan beads fill irregular bone cavities, support healing, reduce dead space, and provide an ideal environment for tissue regeneration. Because it is biocompatible and fully absorbable, it significantly lowers patient burden, shortens treatment time, and helps prevent reinfection.
Trusted in both primary and revision orthopedic procedures, Stimulan is considered one of the most effective modern solutions for localized infection control and bone regeneration.
