Biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically equivalent to autograft* with significantly enhanced regeneration compared to β-TCP*

A porous synthetic bone with inductive and conductive properties that resorbs in line with the bone healing – perfect for all defects.

PREMIUM PERFORMANCE

• Highly porous matrix (c70%) enabling rapid revascularisation and excellent space for new bone across the entire three-dimensional structure.

• Induces angiogenesis and fast apatite formation (1,2,5).

• Greater bone fusion and significantly enhance bone regeneration compared to pure β-TCP. (3,4)

• Comparisons to rhBMP-2 in terms of bone growth and fusion (7)

• Biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically equivalence to autograft (7)

UNIQUE FORMULATION

• Contains a highly porous form of Silicate Substituted βeta-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP).

• Peer-reviewed over 12 years.

• Supplemented with ZrO2 (0.1%) for antibacterial efficacy and radiopacity.

FLEXIBILITY

• Use alone or to bulk out autogenous bone particles alone supported by a space-creating device such as Bionnovation Titanium Mesh or Powerbone Barrier.

• Ideal carrier for antibiotics or as a basis for sticky bone when mixed with centrifuged blood products.

FORMULATION

• Contains a highly porous form of Silicate Substituted βeta-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) supplemented with ZrO2 (0.1%) for antibacterial efficacy and radiopacity.

WHY SILICATE SUBSTITUTED β-TCP?

• Peer-reviewed over 12 years.

• Excellent conductivity and numerous reports supporting osteoinductivity, induced angiogenesis and fast apatite formation (1,2,5).

• Greater bone fusion and significantly enhance bone regeneration compared to pure β-TCP. (3,4)

• Comparisons to rhBMP-2 in terms of bone growth and fusion (7)

• Biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically equivalence to autograft (7)

EASY FOLLOW-UP

Resorption of Powerbone grafts can be followed on x-ray – an important feature compared to standard β-TCP.
