BONE SUBSTITUTES
Diverse fields of application
The use of prepared allogeneic tissue represents an excellent alternative to autologous implants. Extensive studies show that processed allogenic bone and autologous bone do not differ in their immunological compatibility. We would be happy to advise you on the various possible applications.
OUR BONE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS
SPONGIOSA GRANULES
High stability and quick incorporation
C+TBA-Granules are available as pure cancellous granules, or upon request, as cortical-cancellous granules (with up to 30% cortical components). The cancellous structure is always retained and enables rapid incorporation. The uses of cortico-cancellous granules are the same as those of cancellous granules, but because of the cortical components, cortico-cancellous granules offer increased stability in the event of impaction. The grain sizes are selected according to the application and the size of the defect. Application examples are cysts and defects after endoprosthesis loosening.
STRUCTURAL GRAFTS
Wedges, J-Chip and Cylinder
Wedges are a special type of corticospongious block that are primarily used in displacement osteotomy. C+TBA wedges are 10 mm tall on the cortical side and preformed at an angle of 15 °.
The J-Chip consists entirely of cortical bone, which leads to greater stability during insertion and better support. A round back provides a smooth surface for soft tissue. J-chip surgery is a technique that was developed in the 1980s for the treatment of patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations following trauma. In simple terms, the shoulder joint consists of a large ball and a small socket. The cause of shoulder instability is often a bone defect in the already naturally small socket. Similar to glenoid osteoplasty, the aim of the J-chip operation is to compensate for this defect, to anatomically reconstruct the joint socket and thereby to stabilize the shoulder again. The advantage of the J-Chip operation compared to other techniques is the fixation without additional attachment by foreign bodies (e.g. screws).
