Bone substitutes

Cam’s bone graft and bone substitutes feature a bioceramic matrix which is extremely biocompatible and osteoconductive. The interconnected pores in the bioceramic matrix are a prerequisite for bone ingrowth; optimizing cellular penetration and integration inside the bone tissue. Bone substitutes are offered in the form of granules and blocks.

 

Biocompatibility

The composition of our bone substitutes is similar to that of natural bone. This results in optimal biocompatibility, hence well tolerated by the human body.

 

Resorption

The calcium phosphate composition of our granules and blocks enhances the biological resorption and improves the optimal ingrowth and bone formation.

 

Safety

All our products consist of the purest form of synthetic calcium phosphates without the use of human or animal bone graft material. The purity and synthetic nature of our products results in a safe grafting method without any risk of transmitting viral infections.

 

The products can be used for orthopaedic and oral/maxillofacial applications. Cam Bioceramics produces and develops private label bone substitutes for some of the largest orthopaedic companies in the world.

 

Granules are produced in mainly two types:

 

Spherical granules:

  • Available in dense as well as in micro-porous quality with 90% porosity and optimally interconnected pores
  • Pure HA or pure TCP as well as different HA / ß-TCP ratios are available
  • The granule size can be produced in a standard variation of approximately 50 to 3000 micron; other sizes on request

 

Irregular granules:

  • Available in a macro-porous quality
  • Pure HA or pure TCP as well as different HA / ß-TCP ratios are available
  • The granule size can be produced from 500 to 2000 micron or in blocks from 5 to 50 mm; other sizes can be produced on request

 

Cam Bioceramics has registered various calcium phosphate products with the trade name Camceram® with Hydroxyapatite and/or ß-Tricalcium Phosphate. Hydroxyapatite is the major component of the mineral phase of bone and has been commercially available as a synthetic ceramic implant material for over 25 years. It is recognized by the body as bone and is excellent for use in implantation in bony sites. It is easy to handle by the surgeon and may be used on its own or mixed with auto graft or bone marrow. It is ready for surgery right off the shelf.
