Resorbable
60% HA, 40% ß-TCP composition is similar
to the mineral component of human bone and undergoes
complete resorption at a controlled rate. |
 |
Ultra
High Porosity
Over 80% porosity allows rapid bone ingrowth throughout
the pores. The product provides support without
significantly limiting natural bone density. Microporosity
within the HA/TCP structure assists the transfer
of essential nutrients.
|
 |
Safe and Reliable
A gamma sterilised product, available in unlimited
quantities. The biocompatibility and clinical
efficacy of HA and ß-TCP as bone substitute
materials is supported by over 3000 publications
and over 500 clinical studies with 25 years of
successful use.
|
Application
Application is easy. When mixed with blood, bone
marrow aspirate or platelet concentrate, the granules
form a cohesive mixture that is easily handled.
ReproBone™ granules can be mixed with autograft
as a bone graft extender e.g. for spinal fusion
procedures and blocks can be easily cut and shaped
to fit the defect.

Osteoconduction
with bone radiating through pores to the centre
of the implant

Indications
ReproBone™ blocks and granules are indicated
for use as a bone graft substitute for the repair
of non-load bearing osseous defects. Standard
fixation techniques must be used in load bearing
application. ReproBone™ has been used successfully
for fracture repair, non-unions, prosthesis revision
surgery and spinal fusion procedures.
|
The product is also available in a non-resorbable
pure hydroxyapatite version (PermaBone)
With healing times comparable to
that of autogeneous bone grafts, ReproBone is the natural
alternative to bone grafts, in many cases eliminating
the need for a second operation site, reducing blood
loss and lowering patient morbidity. |
