Xenograft bone substitute Dual-Block

for maxillofacial surgeryrigid

Tissue origin : Heterologous cortico-cancellous block Tissue collagen : Preserved Physical form : Rigid dried block Composition : 100% cortico-cancellous bone Re-entry time : About 8 months Packaging : 20x15x5 mm, 20x10x5 mm Characteristics Dual-Block supports new bone formation due to its extremely osteoconductive surface: thanks to its rigid consistency the block is able to mantain in time the original graft volume, which is particularly important in case of large regenerations. Moreover the collagen content facilitates blood clotting and the subsequent invasion of regenerative and repairing cells, favoring restitutio ad integrum of missing bone. Handling Dual-Block must be hydrated before use with sterile lukewarm physiological solution or with antibiotics (5/10 minutes for Soft version; up to 40 minutes for Norm version). Afterwards, it can be adapted to the receiving site which must be accurately decorticated in order to guarantee maximum contact; the block should always be fixed with osteosynthesis microscrews and protected with a resorbable barrier (Evolution membrane). Clinical information Dual-Block is indicated for heavily reabsorbed maxilla horizontal augmentation. Whatever is the applied technique, it is recommended to fill the gaps around the block with a biomaterial in granules to achieve the desired volume and contour of the augmented recipient site.
