Cerapedics i-Factor™ Bone Graft
i-Factor™ bone graft putty is the only bone graft substitute that uses a unique anorganic bone mineral (ABM) and small P-15™ peptide, that acts as an attachment factor for specific integrins in osteogenic cells. This novel mechanism of action enhances the cell binding and abundance of ABM/P15 allowing attachment sites for osteogenic cells to bind to the ABM/P15 via α2β1 integrins. This leads to a natural bone healing process leading to fusion. Safe results, predictable bone formation at a fraction of the cost of conventional growth factors. It is available in 5cc and 10cc syringes for ease of delivery and is available as i-FACTOR™ Flex which is the same as the putty but is in a lyophilised or freeze dried form. It is able to be cut, bent and shaped to fit the particular dimensions of an osseous defect.
Kasios JectOS
JectOS is a composition of 55% DCPD (dicalcium phosphate dihydrated) and 45% TCP (tricalcium phosphate). It has a 40% porosity and a pore size less than 5 μm. JectOS sets in 9 to 11 minutes including a working time of 4 to 5 minutes. It has a reaction temperature of 43°C – 45°C. Once set, JectOS has a compression strength of approximately 35 Mpa. When JectOS is implanted inside a bone defect in close apposition with human bone, it will reabsorb with time and will be replaced simultaneously by new bone. This allows JectOS to have very good osseointegration thanks to its bioresorption and osseoconductive abilities. Being completely synthetic there is no risk of disease transmission. JectOS is biocompatible, bioresorbable, bioconductive and a has good osseointegration. It is easy to use, radiopaque and can be injected minimally invasively. JectOS is available in 5cc and 10cc volumes.
Kasios TCP Granules
Kasios TCP Chemical composition βTCP (99.9%). βTCP is a calcium phosphate molecule similar to the mineral phase of the natural bone.atures and Benefits Biocompatible: no reaction to foreign body. Bioresorbable: replaced by natural bone. Interconnected porosity: encourages a quick and proper osseointegration. Synthetic: no risk of immune response, no risk of cross contamination, no risk of disease transmission. Ready to use: decreases surgery time. Radiopaque: allows for a long term follow up. Granules: fill irregularly shaped cavities.
Kainos+ BCP Granules
Kainos®+ is a biphasic micro-macro porous calcium phosphate ceramic which is tailored to mimic natural bone with a mix of hydroxylapatite and ß-tricalcium phosphate with a ratio of 60/40. It is formed by a sophisticated manufacturing process and is an ideal material for all bone substitution needs, including spine surgery. Its osteoconductive and bioactive properties have a unique micro-macroing-porosity. Kainos+ is completely biocompatible and resorbable with no adverse local tissue reaction, immunogenicity or toxicity. It is available in 5cc, 10cc and 20cc vials.
