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....
