Product Overview
OsteoVation ß TCP beads are a synthetic, porous, osteoconductive bone graft substitute comprised of a single phase pure beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) biomaterial. The kit is designed for combining βTCP Beads and Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) which creates a potent osteoconductive graft with osteoinductive and osteogenic potential. OsteoVation ß TCP beads are roughly 80% macro- and micro-porous, with porosity ranging from 1 to 450 microns. The unique spherical shape of each bead provides low packing density, maximum surface area, and faster resorption.
The surgeon can choose to mix OsteoVation ß TCP beads with the patient’s blood, BMA or saline. BMA is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells which show osteogenic potential. Through a simple one step surgical technique, the addition of autologous blood or BMA to the beads results in a pliable putty following clotting. This graft can be pushed from the syringe into the surgeon’s hand or directly into the bone void. OsteoVation ß TCP beads are an excellent choice for tumors/cyst, fusions, osteolysis and osteotomy procedures. (http://www.osteomed.com/)
