| Osteoset Bone Graft Substitute
OSTEOSET® Bone Graft Substitute is a
patented medical grade calcium sulfate bone graft substitute.
As early as 1892, medical literature describes the use of
calcium sulfate as a bone graft substitute. Over the past
15 years, scientists and clinicians associated with United
States Gypsum (USG) and Wright Medical Technology have extensively
studied and characterized calcium sulfate. It was discovered
that by engineering the shape and size of the hemihydrate
crystals, the resorption rate of the final product could be
controlled, providing consistent clinical results.
OSTEOSET® Bone Graft Substitute is the
product of this research. The pellets offer a biological framework
into which new bone can form, and are resorbed at a rate consistent
with natural bone formation.
- Biocompatible and Bioresorbable
- Purity and Crystallinity: The proprietary medical grade
manufacturing process insures a crystalline uniformity and
purity that results in a predictable biological response.
- Not Contraindicated in the Presence of Infection: Since
OSTEOSET® pellets are completely resorbable, there is
nothing on which infectious agents may reside or bond.
