Device Name: Matriform SI-Strip Indication for Use: Matriform® Si Strip is intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (posterolateral spine). These osseous defects may be surgically created or from traumatic injury to the bone and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. In the posterolateral spine Matriform® Si Strip is to be mixed with autograft bone. The device resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process
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.
