- Hydroxyapatite (HA)
- Good biocompatibility
- Spherical porous structure contributes to good bending strength
- Optimal macro pore diameters for good bone in-growth
- Special forms as a space holder
BONECERAM
BONECERAM-Bone void filler-
Device Description
BONECERAM is a bone graft substitute which is composed of hydroxyapatite.
There are two porosity types.
BONECERAM P is a porous type.
BONECERAM K is a dense type.
Both types have good biocompatibility.
BONECERAM is mainly used as a space holder to retain space due to its strength and various unique shapes.
* BONECERAM has been available in Japan since 1988.
[Launched countries: Japan, Hong Kong]
