vtb demineralised bone matrix

Demineralised Bone Matrix (DBM) is cortical bone which has been cut, milled into fine particles and washed to remove soft tissues, cells and marrow elements. Further processing removes minerals to leave collagen matrix and endogenous bone growth factors such as bone morphogenic proteins. DMB is used where osteoinduction is required but the graft does not require any structural properties, for example in small joint arthrodesis.
