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
CERAFORM® is indicated for the filling of bone defects, due to bone injury (such as tumour, trauma, disease), or surgical procedure (such as arthrodesis, osteotomy), as follows:
• Granules are indicated for use in tumoral or benign bone cysts (shoulder, hip, knee, foot), fractures (shoulder, knee), osteotomies (knee), and spine fusion procedures,
• Sticks are indicated for use in fractures (knee, shoulder),
• Wedges are indicated for use in fractures (knee, shoulder).
Biphasic ceramic HA/TCP, the answer to bone defects.
SYNTHETIC
• Free from organic phase
• No immunological risk
ABSORBABLE
• Absorbed after an average of 2 years
BIOCOMPATIBLE
• Compliant to ISO 10993-1
