Product Overview
Ossilix is a high performance next generation calcium phosphate cement indicated for filling bony defects in cancellous bone. This material was designed to overcome the limitations of the first generation calcium phosphate cements.
Ossilix MP is a proprietary formulation of calcium phosphate blended with macro-pore forming agents to create in-vivo macroporosity that accelerates remodeling without compromising the desired mechanical strength.
Features and Benefits
Ossilix
• Biocompatible
• Allows for natural bone remodeling, or healing, while still maintaining the strength above that of cancellous bone
• Immediate higher compressive strength than cancellous bone
• Simple-to-use mixing system
• Fast, hard-setting; approximately 6 minutes at 37°C in wet environment*
• Can be drilled and inserted with screws
• May be implanted before or after hardware allowing surgeons to maintain their standard surgical technique and allowing precise cement and hardware placement
• Can be mixed with autograft as autograft extender*
*Ossilix form
Ossilix MP
• Biocompatible
• Faster remodeling and return to normal cancellous bone architecture
• Sets quickly in just 8–10 minutes
• Macroporous: Rapid generation of porosity (15–60 days) allowing faster ingrowth of host bone tissue
• Simple-to-use mixing system
• Generates strength similar to cancellous bone
• Isothermic (does not generate heat)
