Autograft
Historically requires additional surgical site
Spinous processes are limited in quantity and often require extender
Autograft still considered gold standard
Patient’s own bone is better but what about smoker/diabetic/osteoporotic
DBM Putty
2 ingredients - Demineralized bone (particles or fibers) and carrier that improves handling characteristics
510k required as result of added carrier compound
Offered in putty or injectable paste
Room temperature
2 year shelf life
Grafton (Osteotech/Medtronic)- glycerol carrier
DBX (Depuy) cannot be irrigated will wash away
NO Cells - still need osteogenic component
DBF (Demineralized Bone Fibers)
Long fibers that have been demineralized
Entangle and become similar to putty
100% bone - no carrier
room temp
2 year shelf life
Theory is cells prefer to grow along a liniar scaffold as opposed to jumping particle to particle
Relatively new - not many competitors
No Cells - still need osteogenic component
Handling characteristics close, but still not like putty
DBM cancellous shapes
100% human demineralized cancellous bone Elastic compressible handling characteristics conductive and inductive Room temp 5 year shelf life Radiolucent OsteoSponge (Bacterin) Conform (DePuy) Indux (Zimmer/Biomet) Grafton Matrix PLF
No cells - still needs osteogenic component
DBM (Enhanced?)
Allograft bone with increased levels of BMP
Added from processed bone-marrow
Granules, putty, compressible sponge and structural allografts
Claim 500-1000 times the BMP of native autograft or any allograft derived biologic on the market
No cells - still needs ostoegenic component
Expensive - targeting infuse
First generation synthetics
Osteoconductive scaffold only Calcium phosphate ceramic Hydroxyapatite & Tri-calcium phosphage Calcium sulfate (Plaster or Paris) Polymer-based (Collagen) Combination of several
Recommend combining PRP/BMA
Not dominant in marketplace
Typically only in deformity cases
Low price point
Vitoss (stryker)
Mastergraft (Medtronic)
Chronos/Healous (Depuy)
Synthetic Bioglass
Dominated by bio-active glass or bioglass products
Claim osteopromotive or osteostimulative capacity in addition to osteoconductive scaffold
Recommend combining with PRP/BMA
Vitoss BA (Stryker)
Actifuse (Baxter)
NovaBone (Nova Bone)
