Not sure about the Alcos but that is what it sounds like. Anyone hear of it?

Thanks in advance!

Doing a shoulder repair.  This is part of the sentence--did drill with an 1/8 inch drill bit in order to allow cement gromich.

Subject: gentamicin

I work in QA and the Quick Look Drug Book 2006 gives US/Canada brand names for gentamicin as Alcomicin, Diogent, Genoptic, Gentak, and SAB-Gentamicin.

The only correction I would make, is if someone typed Gentamycin or gentamycin.

I believe that QA was in error.

Subject: I thought it would be some type of cement, but he's is saying "Prodance" pretty clear, I just

can't document that anywhere. It seems to be a packing of some sort as the doc stated "we packed the wound and sutured the soft tissues over this impregnated with the antibiotics"... with whatever this "Prodance" thing is. I did try researching all types of antibiotic-impregnated cements, but no luck there either.
