STIMULAN
STIMULAN is a calcium sulfate antibiotic carrier that surgeons use to place antibiotics locally at an infected site as part of their infection management plan. STIMULAN allows them to place a higher concentration of antibiotic locally than they would otherwise have been able to achieve through systemic oral or intravenous antibiotic delivery. For example, if you are undergoing a hip or knee replacement and your surgeon suspects there may be infection present they may decide to place STIMULAN mixed with an antibiotic around the new implant to protect the surgical site.
STIMULAN gives the surgeon the flexibility to choose the most appropriate antibiotic for the infection they are dealing with and has proven to lower rates of reinfection and improve patient outcomes.
