Materials

Cem-Ostetic® is a bio-engineered mixture of calcium-based inorganic compounds . After it is implanted, Cem-Ostetic® resorbs and is later replaced by natural bone. Cem-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.

Indications-For-Use

Cem-Ostetic® is an osteoconductive bone substitute shaped as granules or blocks 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 granules or blocks may be pressed into the void or into the surgical site by hand. The Cem-Ostetic® granules or blocks provide void filling material that acts as a temporary support medium. The granules or blocks are not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque. Cem-Ostetic® is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone ingrowth occurs.
