Calcium phosphate bioceramics solutions for spine industry
Spinal fusion is the largest user of bone grafting materials. The goal is to generate bone where no bone naturally exists in order to bring about fusion across two or more vertebra. Traditionally iliac crest bone chips have been the main source of a scaffold material to facilitate the necessary bone growth. Such bone chips work very well for fusion but co-morbidity at the iliac crest harvest site can result in the patient experiencing as much pain from the harvest site as from their original spinal complaint. ...

Calcium phosphate bioceramics solutions for synthetic bone applications
Calcium phosphate bioceramics such as HA or TCP or biphasic HA/TCP are very similar in composition to the main mineral portion of bone. These ceramics have demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. In porous forms, the structure mimics the structure of bone. Interconnected pores of sufficient size have been shown to provide a highly biocompatible matrix for osteoconduction. The use of these synthetic graft materials avoids some of the concerns with allografts (human bone source) and xenograft’s (animal bone ...
