Plivios cages prefilled with the synthetic cancellous bone substitute chronOS are patient-friendly and reduce surgery time.
Key Features & Benefits
| – | Low patient morbidity as there is no need for secondary surgery to remove autologous bone. The operation time is also shortened. |
| – | Easy handling as the cage is only saturated with blood or bone marrow; studies have demonstrated that chronic pain rate can still be 18.7% even 2 years after iliac crest surgery. |
| – | chronOS is 100% synthetic, resorbable and is converted to vital bone within 6-18 months. |
| – | Osteoconductive with interconnecting macropores of a defined size (100-500 μm) to facilitate bone ingrowth |
