Project Description

CERAFORM®

Synthetic Bone Substitute

CERAFORM® is a biocompatible and safe synthetic biphasic ceramic made of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP).

Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 is a calcium phosphate similar to the mineral phase of bone tissue. Tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2 , more soluble than HA, improves the resorption kinetics of CERAFORM®.

ADVANTAGES

  • Biocompatible
  • Synthetic
  • Absorbable
  • Osteoconductive
  • Interconnected porosity
