Product catalog summary

Introduction to Geistlich Surgery and Orthoss®
Geistlich Surgery, a unit of Geistlich Pharma AG, specializes in bio-derived matrix products for bone and cartilage regeneration, including Orthoss®. The company, headquartered in Switzerland, has been family-owned since 1851 and focuses on regenerative medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Orthoss® Product Overview
Orthoss® is a bone substitute designed to mimic human bone's osteoconductive properties. It is available in granule and block formats and is used as an alternative to autologous bone for filling smaller bone voids or as a volume extender in composite bone grafting.

Key Features of Orthoss®

Similarity to Human Bone: Orthoss® has a unique pore structure with both nanopores and macropores, promoting bone regeneration.
Nanopores: These contribute to high capillarity and wettability, allowing Orthoss® to absorb and retain fluids effectively.
Macropores: Facilitate the movement and adhesion of bone-building cells and the growth of blood vessels.
Interconnectivity: Provides a network for rapid blood absorption and guided bone growth.

Clinical Benefits
Orthoss® supports bone regeneration by providing a stable scaffold that resorbs slowly, allowing new bone tissue to grow and integrate seamlessly. This results in long-lasting and stable bone repair.

Comparison with Other Bone Substitutes
Orthoss® is compared with other bone substitutes, highlighting its superior interconnectivity and surface area, which are crucial for effective bone regeneration.

Conclusion
Orthoss® is a highly effective bone substitute that closely resembles human bone, offering significant advantages in bone regeneration procedures. For more information, visit the Geistlich Surgery website.

Orthoss The Surgeon’s Choice for Bone Regeneration

Orthoss has a unique pore structure very similar to human bone, which provides the ideal conditions for bone regeneration. ® The success of any regenerative orthopedic surgery depends largely on the quality and characteristics of the bone substitute used. For human bone to regenerate successfully, the bone substitute material should provide several conditions: • A stable scaffold • Rapid uptake of fluids • A network of interconnected pores • Suitable space for colonization. Backed by nearly 25 years of clinical experience, Orthoss® offers the osteoconductive properties of human bone but is readily...

As Close to Human Bone as Possible Orthoss® is very similar to human bone. Like human bone, it is highly porous and has a unique pore structure consisting of both nanopores and macropores. The presence and interconnectivity of a large number of nanopores (10-20 nm) causes the high capillarity of Orthoss® and contributes to its high wettability.5 Embedded in the walls of the macropores, they enable Orthoss® to spontaneously take up and retain a large volume of blood and other fluids. Macropores (100-300 µm) enable the movement and adhesion of bonebuilding cells throughout the Orthoss® scaffolding....
