Xenograft bone substitute Apatos®

for dental sugerygranules

Tissue origin : Apatos Mix: cortico-cancellous heterologous bone mix Apatos Cortical: heterologous cortical bone Tissue collagen : Degraded Physical form : Radiopaque granules of mineral hydroxyapatite Composition : Apatos Mix: 100% cortico-cancellous mix Apatos Cortical: 100% cortical bone Granulometry : 600-1000 µm 1000-2000 µm Re-entry time : About 5 months Packaging : Mix | Vial: 0.5 g, 1.0 g, 2.0 g Cortical | Vial: 0.5 g, 1.0 g Characteristics Apatos is a biocompatible(, osteoconductive biomaterial of heterologous origin with characteristics similar to mineralized human bone; it can therefore be used as an alternative to autologous bone. The natural microporous consistency of Apatos facilitates the formation of new bone tissue in bone defect area, accelerating the process. Apatos microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is available in cortical and mixed granules. Handling Apatos must always be hydrated and thoroughly mixed with a few drops of sterile saline or with TSV Gel to increase graft stability in not self-contained defects; it can also be mixed with patient’s blood. Finally it can be mixed if necessary with the drug selected for surgery; the mixture thus obtained should be positioned with a sterile spatula or syringe for biomaterials.
