Cancellous Bone offers an osteoconductive scaffold for promoting bone regeneration.
Used either alone or as part of a composite bone graft, cancellous bone supplies a natural scaffold facilitating the attachment of osteogenic precursor cells.

Natural Bone

Cancellous Bone have good osteoconductive properties and are very well suited to fill defects in the bony structure. Due to their natural origin and optimal porosity, cancellous bone is readily remodelled by the human body and are replaced by new host bone.

Structural Scaffold

Cancellous Bone is a strong bone graft material that can provide structural support to the bony defect where synthetic bone graft substitutes are limited, Cancellous allograft tissue is slightly less rigid but still provides structural support to the bony defect (i.e. as compared to many synthetic bone graft substitutes).

Safety

SureChip & SureBlock is produced in FDA-approved facility and only uses donor tissue from AATB-accredited tissue banks in it’s products. Individual donor tissue is not mixed with tissue from other donors and the final product is sterilized to ensure patient safety.

Preparations for use

  • To rehydrate freeze-dried tissue in an acceptable sterile irrigant (i.e. normal saline or Lactated Ringer Solution) is common but not mandatory prior to use. Bone chips do not necessarily need to be rehydrated.
  • The decision to rehydrate the freeze dried cancellous bone prior to transplantation should be based upon the surgeon’s preference.
  • To increase the biological properties of the implant, the patient’s own blood or bone marrow can be used to rehydrate the freeze-dried tissue.
  • Optimal performance is achieved when rehydration is done at least 30 minutes prior to the operation.
  • To process the rehydration, a transfer of the allograft from the plastic tray of the package to a sterile container is necessary.
  • The allograft tissue can be cut to the preferred size after rehydration.

Indication

There are different indications that are suitable for the use of allograft chips and blocks:

  • Implication grafting during femoral or acetabular revisions
  • Filling of bone defects
  • Tibia plateau impression fractures
  • Arthroplasty and revision arthroplasty
  • Posterior spinal fusions

The offered allograft tissue acts as bone void (defect) filler, as structural graft, and is suited for trauma, tumor resection and hip and knee revisions. Even though allograft chips and blocks provide structural support to the bony defect, these implants are not indicated for use in load bearing indications, unless used in conjunction with appropriate asteosynthesis fixation. Depending on the size, voids of undefined geometric shape can be filled with chips. Voids with defined geometric shape can be filled with blocks.
