Paper deals with comparsion of flat and round nozzle using of disintegration of PMMA by pulsating water jet. As a bone cements were used PALCOS R+G. Samples were prepared by vacuum mixing. Experiments with pulsating water jet were done using two types of nozzles - flat and round. Influence of pulsating water jet factors on volume removal rate was studied. Results will serve for understanding of pulsating water jet interaction and PMMA, in order to use results for possible surgery technique, for easy removal of cemented femoral stem from femoral channel during revised surgery. Results show that pulsating water jet will be possible focuses as a tool for medical purposes, but further detailed research is needed.
