Orthoss

Orthoss^® is a natural bone substitute material made from the mineral part of bovine bone. This inorganic matrix has a micro- and macroporous structure very similar to human bone. Orthoss^® is structurally integrated into the surrounding bone and incorporated into the physiological remodelling process.

As a result of the excellent biofuntionality, Orthoss^® is an ideal bone graft substitute. It can also be used as a matrix in combination with autologous bone or as a matrix in combination with bone marrow aspirate in the reconstruction of aseptic bone defects. This includes the repair of defects following trauma, reconstruction in orthopaedics and in spinal surgery.

Orthoss^® is available in different sized granules and assorted block dimensions.

Why do leading surgeons use Orthoss^®?

• Orthoss^® exhibits excellent biofunctionality and has both osseointegration and osteoconductivity.
• The unique interconnecting pore structure and natural pore morphology facilitate rapid osseointegration.
• Synthetic materials do not provide a physiologically equivalent pore system. This impairs their biological properties.
• Orthoss^® is ideal for expanding the volume of autologous bone.
• Excellent hydrophilicity and capillarity allow complete and spontaneous penetration of fluid.
• Orthoss^® is easy and safe to handle.
• Over 20 years of experience substantiate the high efficacy and safety of Orthoss^®

Chondro-Gide

Chondro-Gide® is the leading natural collagen matrix in cartilage regeneration. This standardised, easy to handle matrix can be used to treat cartilage defects with various surgical methods:

AMIC® (Autologous Matrix Induced Chondrogenesis)

AMIC® is a single step, cost efficient and effective technique for treating traumatic cartilage defects. Chondro-Gide® offers a protective environment for cell differentiation and the formation of new cartilage.

ACI (Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation)

Chondro-Gide® provides an ideal 3D supportive matrix for adherence of autologous cultured chondrocytes and encourages their proliferation.

Chondro-Gide® consists of collagen type I and III. The unique bilayer structure of the matrix is manufactured in a patented process.

Why do leading surgeons use Chondro-Gide®?

Scientific studies provide proof of the efficiency of Chondro-Gide® as the leading collagen matrix in cartilage regeneration

The matrix has a unique bilayer structure

Chondro-Gide® has high tensile strength and excellent handling properties

Chondro-Gide® promotes the chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells in the AMIC technique

Chondro-Gide® encourages proliferation and enrichment of the extracellular matrix in ACI
