OssDsign Catalyst is an osteoconductive, resorbable, porous, 100% nanosynthetic calcium phosphate bone void filler. OssDsign Catalyst contains 5.8 wt% silicon-substituted calcium phosphate granules suspended in a resorbable polymer gel. The final, finished OssDsign Catalyst is 30 wt% granules and 70 wt% polymer gel. The high surface area porous granules have been designed to deliver consistent and rapid bone ingrowth, remodeling and cell-mediated resorption during the bone healing process. The aqueous polymer gel phase binds the highly porous granules into a moldable, pliable formulation which enables OssDsign Catalyst to be implanted directly from the packaging without any further gelation, mixing or graft setting time. OssDsign Catalyst is provided sterile to the end user in 2.5 cc, 5 cc and 10 cc sizes. (510(k) no. K193075)
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.
