Bone Cement Timer is an informational timing reference designed for healthcare professionals working with orthopedic bone cement. It provides clear, temperature-specific reference timing for each stage of cement preparation and use. SUPPORTED BONE CEMENTS • Simplex P • Palacos R+G • Palacos R+G (Chilled) FOLLOW EACH STAGE Select the bone cement and operating room/theatre temperature to view reference timing for Mixing, Wait to Handle, Working, and Wait to Set, including individual stage durations and total reference time. CLEAR TIMER CONTROLS Start, pause, resume, or reset the timer. View the current stage, elapsed time, remaining time, and overall progress at a glance. OPTIONAL SPOKEN & BACKGROUND ALERTS Enable spoken call-outs as the timer progresses through each stage. Optional local notifications can provide stage alerts when the app is in the background. Notification delivery and sound depend on device permissions and settings. WORKS OFFLINE Core timing functions and saved preferences are available without an internet connection. INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY Bone Cement Timer is a reference timing aid and does not measure the actual curing state, temperature, viscosity, or physical properties of bone cement. Timing values are derived from manufacturer-published information and are provided for reference only. Always follow the current manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU), product labeling, and your institution's protocols. Do not rely on this app as the sole method for determining when bone cement is ready to handle, apply, or has fully set.
