Collagen-Based Bone Filling Augmentation Material./Product Overview:FOUNDATION is made of absorbable atelo-collagen. Theatelo-collagen has been cross-linked by heat treatmentin order to achieve biocompatibility. FOUNDATION isprovided in bullet shapes. The collagen (liquid form)suspension is pored into a bullet shape mold. The designof the bullet shape is to permit easy placement into theextraction socket. It consists of fibrillar and heat-denaturedatelo-collagen. Fibrillar atelo-collagen provides scaffoldingfor surrounding cells and the heat-denatured atelo-collagenstimulates infiltration of the cells in the product. Contents are sterile and non-pyrogenic.
A sterile bioabsorbable device made primarily of animal-derived bone or dentin matrix (e.g., bovine, porcine) implanted into the body to provide osteoconductive bone-tissue scaffolds to replace maxillofacial and/or mandibular bone lost through trauma or dental surgery. It is used to fill bone cavities and defects and contains pores that promote the ingrowth of endogenous bone for skeletal reconstruction and/or augmentation. It is typically provided as sterile cancellous blocks, chips, or granules of varying sizes, or mouldable materials.
