Powerbone Sponge (Synthetic)

Powerbone Sponge graft is shaped to fill an extraction socket and support the bony site. 

Micro graft particles are embedded in a flexible synthetic sponge and presented as a socket-shaped cone for easy placement and self-supporting retention.

Requires no special surgical skills or instruments.   Powerbone Sponge Graft contains zero animal or cadaveric tissue, eliminating the need for material consent.  

TECHNICAL

• 50% *silicate substituted βeta-TCP (0.05-0.1mm) porous granules

• 50% flexible synthetic macroporous matrix of polylactide with caprolactone. 

• Fully resorbing.

• 16mm x 10mm bullet-shaped self-supporting cone (swells on application).

FEATURES

• Pre-shaped to match socket morphology.

• Easily trim to fill multi-root or other defects. 

• Swells on application to enhance retention.

• Contains no animal or cadaver tissue and is fully resorbable.

• Fully resorbed in 4 to 6 months with no residue remaining.
