What is a bone void filler?
CERAMENT™|BONE VOID FILLER is a biphasic injectable bone graft substitute. It is synthetically made and has one osteoconductive component, hydroxyapatite (HA), and one resorbable component, calcium sulfate (CaS).
What is Norian made of?
Norian Drillable Inject is a biocompatible, fiber reinforced, calcium phosphate bone void filler that is intended to be placed into bony voids either before or after final fixation. When fully cured, it closely approximates the mineral phase of bone.
What is Norian bone cement?
Norian SRS (Skeletal Repair System) is an injectable, moldable and biocompatible calcium phosphate that sets at body temperature into carbonated apatite. It has a compressive strength of approximately 50 MPa, which is 4–10 times greater than the average 5–15 MPa of cancellous bone.
Is Bone Cement considered an implant?
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is commonly known as bone cement, and is widely used for implant fixation in various Orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Bone cements have no intrinsic adhesive properties, but they rely instead on close mechanical interlock between the irregular bone surface and the prosthesis.
What is Prodense?
PRO-DENSE™ Injectable Regenerative Graft is a bone graft substitute that is a purely synthetic composite of calcium sulfate and calcium phosphate. These two materials are biocompatible and have been used in orthopedics for over 100 years.
What is a ViviGen bone graft?
ViviGen is a cellular allograft intended for repair or reconstruction of musculoskeletal defects. ViviGen is being utilized in fusion, nonunion, and malunion for foot/ankle or long bone trauma in patients with compromised biology.
How long does bone cement last?
Benefits of Cemented Implants Cemented knee implants have been used for years, so we know that they can be effective in the long term. On average, a cemented implant will last 10 to 20 years or more before it needs to be replaced.
Is bone cement stronger than bone?
Are bones stronger than concrete? Well, it depends. Bone typically has an elastic modulus that is like concrete but it’s 10 times stronger in compression. As for the stainless-steel comparison, bone has a similar compressive strength but is three times lighter.
What is Prodense made of?
What is allograft?
Listen to pronunciation. (A-loh-graft) The transplant of an organ, tissue, or cells from one individual to another individual of the same species who is not an identical twin.
Is ViviGen FDA approved?
ViviGen is processed by LifeNet Health, a non-profit tissue bank. Allograft tissue is regulated by the FDA under allograft-specific regulations in the U.S.
What is ViviGen made of?
Product Description – ViviGen is a HCT/P (Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-based Product) comprised of cryopreserved, live, viable bone cells within a corticocancellous bone matrix and demineralized bone. Indications for Use: ViviGen is intended for repair or reconstruction of musculoskeletal defects.
