Actibone Bone Grafts are synthetic, osteoconductive, porous, interconnected macroporosity and microporosity structured, resorbable and biologically compatible bone graft substitute materials that is characterized by controlled resorption properties and outstanding handling characteristics. Chemical Composition Actibone Bone Grafts are synthetic, osteoconductive, resorbable and biocompatible bone substitutes consisting of beta-tricalcium phosphate complying with the standards ASTM F 1088 and ISO 13175-3. The solubility and Ca / P molar ratio of beta-tricalcium phosphate are close to those of bone mineral. As a result, beta-tricalcium phosphate is remodeled into bone by cellular processes.Actibone Bone Grafts are initially radio-opaque. As the bone remodeling process progresses the radio-opacity will resemble the one of autologous bone. Osteoconductive Actibone provides a scaffold for new bone growth. Resorbable Resorbs in 6-18 months which is similar to the regeneration of new bone tissue. Versatile Actibone Bone Grafts are available in various sizes and shapes for a wide variety of applications. Porous Structure Human cancellous bone is 60-80% porous and comprised of interconnected macropores and micropores. Actibone is 70% porous. Its interconnected micropores enhance fluid wicking through capillary action while macropores allow deep invasion of bone cells into the matrix. Actibone Granule has a total porosity of 70%
