Product Overview
Optimally demineralized1-5 putty that provides a natural osteoconductive scaffold and osteoinductive potential to encourage bone healing and fusion
*For International Markets Only
Benefits
• Osteoinductive Potential: Demineralized using proprietary PAD® technology that targets optimal residual calcium levels of 1-4% without compromising the grafts inherent osteoconductive properties or osteoinductive potential1-4
• Excellent Handling Properties: Designed to be molded into any shape, conform to the defect site, and resist migration under irrigation
• Osteoconductive: Natural bone matrix facilitates cell attachment and proliferation, and vascular in-growth
• Sterile: Sterilized using proprietary and patented Allowash XG technology which provides a sterility assurance level of 10-6, without compromising the graft’s inherent osteoconductive properties or osteoinductive potential5
• Ready-to-Use: No rehydration or thawing required, saving valuable operating room time
• Convenient Syringe: Syringe design allows for controlled extrusion of the graft
• Versatile: Available with or without cortical/cancellous chips in multiple volumes to meet surgical needs
