The Orthofix Collage Osteoconductive Scaffold - Putty (Orthofix Collage Putty) is a resorbable bone void filler made from a porous highly purified collagen matrix that has high purity tricalcium phosphate (TCP) granules dispersed throughout. The implant is provided sterile, nonpyrogenic, for single use in double peel packages. The Orthofix Collage Putty bone grafting construct is designed to facilitate the repair of bony defects. In the dry state, the matrix has a three dimensional trabecular network of pores that resembles the pore structure of human cancellous bone. The Orthofix Collage Putty quickly imbibes fluids, making it easy to combine with bone marrow aspirate. The Orthofix Collage Putty guides the regeneration of bone across the defect site into which the Putty is implanted. New bone forms in apposition to the matrix surface when the graft is placed in direct contact with viable host bone. Ultimately the matrix is resorbed and remodeled into bone.
A bioabsorbable, implantable device made of synthetic materials (e.g., ceramics such as tricalcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite) combined with animal-derived bone growth factors (e.g., bovine collagen) intended to replace bone lost through trauma, surgery, or pathological conditions (e.g., osteoporosis); it is not dedicated to dental applications. 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 is typically provided as cancellous blocks, chips, or granules of varying sizes, or mouldable materials.
