uDesis™ synthetic bone substitute Can be combined with ulrich medical spinal systems

Synthetic bone substitute uDesis as alternative to autograft bone Individual malleability uDesis is a synthetic, highly crystalline beta-tricalcium phosphate bone replacement material. uDesis is used by orthopedic surgeons treating defects of the skeleton such as fractures and in specialist surgical techniques such as spine surgery. uDesis is regularly and successfully used in place of both autograft and allograft bone. Clinical results prove the very good rates of fusion. uDesis is completely remodeled into autograft bone. uDesis is variably malleable and can be fit very well to defect...

Immediate post-op Accretion to the bone The gel allows the filling of bone defects and accretion to implants with maximum possible contact between bone and bone subsitute.

Resorption via Osteoclasts uDesis Reversal via Mononuclear cells + Pre-Osteoblasts Physiological resorption process of uDesis™ Bone Formation via Osteoblasts Bone Interconnected macropores Mineralization via Osteocytes The sizes of uDesis macropores range from 0.1 to 1.0 mm. The osteoclasts and osteoblasts can thus vascularize and migrate (Gazdag, 1995). Fully resorbable Bone Remodelling Bone Remodelling Bone Remodelling uDesis is slowly resorbed and converted to new bone by the action of the normal cellular physiological process. 12 weeks after implantation into a critical size defect,...

Indications Intended use uDesis is used for filling bony defects or voids due to: Surgical procedure Traumatic injury to the bone Removal of a cyst Removal of a tumor The indications shown are a recommendation for use from ulrich medical Combinations Can be combined with ulrich medical spinal systems uDesis can be combined with the ulrich medical cages. The ready-to-use gel individually adapts to the filling volume of the cage. uDesis gel is suitable as an addition to instrumentation with ulrich medical screw-rod systems or vertebral body replacement for a rapid fusion. tezo titanium cage...
