Synthes Biomaterials Trauma implants are used for the surgical treatment of various kinds of bone defects in long bones (arms and legs), the shoulder, the hand, the foot and the pelvis.

The portfolio contains different bone replacement materials and have the advantage of uniform quality, unlimited availability and absence of potential complications at a donor site. Additionally, the application of synthetic and allogenic bone graft substitutes reduces the duration of the surgery. Synthes offers a wide range of Biomaterials products in different application forms and with distinct biological properties.

The selection of bone void fillers is generally based on surgeon’s preference 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 consi-sting of pure β-tricalcium phosphate. The intercon-nected porous structure of chronOS acts as an osteo-conductive matrix for the ingrowth of bone cells and blood vessels.

chronOS Perfusion Concept

Indicated to impregnate chronOS with either autologous bone marrow or blood for critical size defects or if a faster remodeling of the bone graft substitute is required.

chronOS Inject

Calcium phosphate, injectable paste with a fast remodeling time into new bone.

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 bone 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

Norian SRS

Calcium phosphate, injectable paste or moldable putty with high compressive strength.
