nanOss® Advanced Bone Graft Substitute
nanOss® Advanced Bone Graft Substitute is composed of nano-structured hydroxyapatite granules and an open structured engineered collagen carrier.
Features & Benefits
Nano-structured hydroxyapatite (HA) provides more surface area which allows increased potential for cell attachment.
Nano-structured HA is similar to bone, which increases its potential to remodel into new bone.
A 12-month peer-reviewed multi-center study of 46 patients showed 93 percent of the total individual sites treated exhibited posterolateral bridging bone.*

Sterilization
nanOss is provided sterile by prior exposure to gamma irradiation. nanOss cannot be resterilized by any method.
Indications
nanOss is intended for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of bony structure. The product is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system (i.e., extremities, posterolateral spine, and pelvis). nanOss must be mixed with autogenous blood or sterile saline for use in the extremities or pelvis. nanOss must be mixed with bone marrow aspirate and autograft bone as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine.
