Product Overview
Dense cancellous bio-implants with intact cortical plate, designed to provide immediate structural support and restore segmental bone loss
Benefits
• Osteoconductive: Natural bone matrix facilitates cell attachment and proliferation, and vascular in-growth
• Structural: Cortical plate provides immediate structural support
• 100% Human Bone: Will remodel alongside patient’s own tissue during the healing process
• Pre-Hydrated: Allograft bio-implants featuring Preservon are stored in a fully-hydrated state at ambient temperatures. Preservon eliminates thawing and re-hydration time and does not require freezer storage or compromise the graft’s inherent osteoconductive properties1
• Sterile: Sterilized using patented and proprietary Allowash XG technology which provides a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6, without compromising the graft’s inherent osteoconductive properties2
• Convenient: Implant is pre-sized to fit a variety of applications and minimize prep time in the operating room
