chronOS products are widely used as osteoconductive bone graft substitutes. Perfusion of the highly porous β-tricalcium phosphate material with autologous bone marrow introduces blood cells, growth factors, and osteoprogenitor cells; thus, accelerates and enhances osteointegration.

For easy handling, chronOS products are available prepackaged in special perfusion devices that allow thorough perfusion under vacuum.

Key Features & Benefits

• Autologous bone marrow — Osteopromotion: accelerated and enhanced osteointegration
  
• Vacuum perfusion system — Efficient impregnation of chronOS with bone marrow
  
• Intra-operative aspiration technique — Time and cost-saving procedure
  
• Minimally invasive procedure — Reduced morbidity
  
• Optimized porosity of chronOS — Enhanced bone ingrowth and vascularization

Indications

• chronOS implants should be used as bone void fillers or augmentation material in zones requiring cancellous rather than cortical bone
• This includes the filling of bone defects after trauma, reconstruction or correction in non-load-bearing indications only
