Characteristics
A natural replicate of autologous bone, Gen-Os® conserves the same intimate structures (matrix and porous form) and presents highly osteoconductive properties.
It is biocompatible and bioavailable, as recognized by tests made according to the ISO 10993 method conducted at Eurofins Biolab.
Gen-Os® is gradually resorbable and provides support in bone neoformation helping to preserve the original graft shape and volume. Moreover, thanks to its collagen content, the product facilitates blood clotting and the subsequent invasion of repairing and regenerative cells, favouring restitutio ad integrum of missing bone. Because of its marked hydrophilia, it can function as a carrier for selected medications and drugsand it is ideal to mix with GFs.
Handling
Gen-Os® must always be hydrated and thoroughly mixed with either a few drops of sterile physiological solution (or patient's blood) to activate its collagen matrix and to enhance its adhesivity or with TSV Gel to increase graft stability in not self-contained defects. If necessary, it can as well be mixed with the drug selected for surgery.
