ThriveSynth™ Calcium Putty is a bio-engineered mixture of calcium-based inorganic compounds. After it is implanted, ThriveSynth™ Calcium Putty resorbs and is later replaced by natural bone. ThriveSynth™ Calcium Putty 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.ThriveSynth™ Calcium Putty is an osteoconductive putty that is 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 putty may be shaped and pressed into the void by hand or inserted into a syringe and injected into the surgical site. The paste set in situ or ex situ provides a void filler that can augment hardware to support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The set putty acts as a temporary support medium and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque. It is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone in-growth occurs.
A bioabsorbable device made of synthetic material intended to be implanted into the body to provide osteoconductive bone-tissue scaffolds, and sometimes osteovascularization, to replace bone lost through trauma, surgery, or pathological conditions (e.g., osteoporosis); it 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. It is used to fill cystic defects, repair fractures, and/or extend autogenous bone grafts and is typically provided as cancellous blocks, chips, or granules of varying sizes, or mouldable/fluid materials.
