Product Overview
Demineralized bone chips and particulates designed to promote bone healing in patients with a high risk of non-union
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
• 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 properties5
• Versatile: Available in multiple sizes and volumes to meet surgical needs
• Absorbent: Absorbs and retains bioactive fluids like blood, platelet rich plasma (PRP), and bone marrow aspirate (BMA)
