BIOCERA-VET® BONE SURGERY RTU, ready-to-use highly injectable self-hardening calcium-phosphate cement, is made from tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and ortho-phosphate salts that after crystallization give rise to calcium-deficient apatite crystals.1 This is chemically close to the mineral components in natural bone. Therefore, BIOCERA-VET becomes well integrated in the bone matrix, resorbed by osteoclasts, and progressively replaced by newly formed bone.1
BIOCERA-VET has a full range of micro, meso and macropores that makes it highly porous. This supports osteoconduction, facilitates cell colonization and biological fluid penetration, which promote bone remodeling and formation.1 In addition, once injected, BIOCERA-VET makes close contact with the adjacent bone, providing mechanical support and promoting new bone formation. Its highly injectable and fast self-setting properties give you the possibility to save time and improve the efficiency of your bone surgeries.1
The clinical indications of BIOCERA-VET BONE SURGERY RTU* are:
• Arthrodesis
• Fractures
• Corrective osteotomy
