Synthes Biomaterials Spine implants are used for the surgical treatment of diverse spinal indications in trauma, fracture or deformity cases. Although spinal fusion is the indication still using most biomaterials, augmentation cases like vertebroplasty, screw augmentation and kyphoplasty procedures are gaining more and more popularity.

The portfolio contains different bone replacement materials, PMMA cement and different interbody fusion devices.

Selection of the various biomaterials is generally based on the indication as well as other desired properties such as: resorption/remodeling time, handling characteristics, osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, etc.

chronOS

Synthetic and resorbable bone graft substitute consisting of pure β-tricalcium phosphate. The interconnected porous structure of chronOS acts as an osteoconductive matrix for the ingrowth of bone cells and blood vessels.

DBX*

Allograft with excellent osteoinductive properties representing a valuable alternative to cancellous bone grafting. DBX is used in cases where fast bone healing is desired and for critical size bony defects.

* Facilitated through Synthes

Allograft Bone Chips and Blocks*

Strong bone graft material made of cortical/cancellous allograft. They feature good osteoconductive properties and provide structural support to the bone defect.

* Facilitated through Synthes

ACF Spacers and Luminary T-PLIF Allograft Spacers*

Cortical bone IBF devices with demineralised surfaces for enhanced fusion and faster incorporation. Osteoinductive potential, safety and optimal biomechanics render it a product of choice for challenging fusion.

Vertecem

Increases the safety of vertebroplasty spine therapy through an objective and reproducible control of cement injection viscosity.
