BERKELEY ADVANCED BIOMATERIALS, LLC BiO-DZ1020P Bi-Ostetic Cylinders

Bi-Ostetic is a mixture with a nominal composition of 60% hydroxyapatite and 40% beta-tri-calcium phosphate. Bi-Ostetic is safe and has excellent biocompatibility. After it is implanted, the implant resorbs and is later replaced by natural bone. Bi-Ostetic 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.Bi-Ostetic is an osteoconductive bone substitute shaped as blocks (cylinders) that are 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 blocks (cylinders) may be pressed into the void or into the surgical site by hand. The Bi-Ostetic blocks (cylinders) provide void filling material that acts as a temporary support medium. The blocks (cylinders) are not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque. Bi-Ostetic is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone ingrowth occurs.
