Granule Size: 1-6mm Volume: 30cc BiSyntek Granules is a mixture with a nominal composition of 60% hydroxyapatite and 40% beta-tri-calcium phosphate. Bi-Ostetic is safe and has excellent biocompatibility. After it is implanted, the implant resorbs and is later replaced by natural bone. Bi-Ostetic is a natural choice for sparing patients the trauma of autograft harvesting. It also provides a safe alternative to human or animal cadaver bone that completely eliminates the potential for disease transmission. BiSyntek Granules is an osteoconductive bone substitute shaped as granules or blocks that are intended to be used to fill voids and gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. These gaps or voids may be located in the extremities, spine, pelvis, or cranium. The granules may be pressed into the void or into the surgical site by hand. The Bi-Ostetic granules provide void filling material that acts as a temporary support medium. The granules are not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque. Bi-Ostetic is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone ingrowth occurs.
A bioabsorbable, implantable device made of a synthetic material(s) intended to replace bone lost through trauma, surgery, or pathological conditions (e.g., osteoporosis); it is not dedicated to dental applications and does not include an antimicrobial agent(s). It may be made of ceramics (e.g., tricalcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite), bioactive glasses/minerals/metals (e.g., strontium), or bioabsorbable polymers. Also referred to as a graft, matrix, or void filler, it typically provides an osteoconductive scaffold that promotes bone growth, and is used to fill cystic defects, repair fractures, and/or extend autogenous bone grafts. It may have adhesive properties.
