Product Overview
N-Force Blue Bone Substitute Material (BSM) is a biomimetic calcium phosphate with similar chemical and physical properties to natural cancellous bone. It flows readily into cancellous bone, then crystallizes and sets hard in an isothermic reaction at 37ËšC to form a macroporous scaffold. N-Force Blue BSM is replaced with new bone during the healing process.
N-Force Blue BSM can be used in conjunction with the N-Force Fixation System®.
The N-Force Blue BSM is injected directly into a N-Force® Fenestrated Screw with the use of a sheath, allowing void fill and increasing structural support of the implant.
• Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate is comparable to the formulation of human bone mineral N-Force Blue BSM = Ca10-x(M)x(PO4)6-x(HPO4,CO3)x(OH)2-x = Bone
• Can be implanted both by injection through a fenestrated screw, single syringe or molded, which gives the surgeon multiple delivery options
• Provides an osteoconductive scaffold for new bone growth while undergoing cell-mediated remodeling4 as the bone heals, without sacrificing structure
Isothermally sets hard in 10 minutes at an average compressive strength of 7-9MPa.
• Slow setting for optimal handling characteristics to reduce the possibility of thermal necrosis development
• Provides 15 minutes of working time to allow for intraoperative flexibility (https://www.zimmerbiomet.com)
