Powerbone Flexible Strip & Graft

Powerbone Flexible Strip & Graft

Powerbone Flexible Strip is a biodegradable bone graft embedded in a polymer matrix offering high elasticity and osteoinductive properties.

Application

Ideal for soft tissue augmentation and hard-to-reach defects, it conforms to the surgical site and can be easily adapted during procedures.

Indications

Biodegradable synthetic graft that is easy to use due to its high elasticity, especially in bone/tissue defects of the orthopedic pelvis and lower extremities as well as posteriolateral spinal fusion cases.

Composition and Properties

• Powerbone Flexible Strip consists of silicate-added B-TCP embedded inside a PLA based synthetic polymer lattice of varying thicknesses. Osteoinductive characteristic are achieved through the addition of silicate to the embedded Powerbone graft material.
• Powerbone Flexible Strip can be applied to the surgical area directly or combined with bone marrow aspirate or blood.
• When wetted the flexibility of Powerbone Flexible Strip increases significantly.
• Powerbone Flexible Strip must be implanted just before all metallic implants (dental&spinal&orthopedics) are stabilized and the surgical site is closed.
• Powerbone Flexible Strip can be cut and placed in the spinal fusion cages and devices bent.
• For dental usage the indications are limited with lateral augmentation, ridge augmantation, on lay graft technique and sandwich technique.

Properties + Advantages

• Powerbone Flexible Strip gains osteoinductive characteristic due to silicate addition to the product content
• High elasticity and flexibility
• Thermo-moldable to site
• Silicate-induced osteoinduction
• Safe for MRI/CT
