Silicate Additive Granule, Stick, Block & Wedge

Safe, Biocompatible and Sterile Radiopaque Biodegradable Ligamed grafts are supplied sterile and CE marked as a Class III Medical Device according to 93/42 / EC directive. Biocompatibility (in vitro and in vivo), biodegradation, bioburden and sterility tests are applied to each material. CT and X-ray traceability is possible. Biodegradable with Full Resorption. With its optimized porous structure and chemical composition, Ligamed grafts are optimised for bone healing. During the healing process, silicate is adsorbed first followed by the ß-TCP scaffold in 4-6 months promoting replacement with native new bone. The high porosity of Ligamed products support initial clot stabilisation. Calcium phosphate provides a conductive scaffold for blood vessels and bone stimulating cells - a structure very similar to the mineral component of natural bone. Ligamed materials include silicate which increases circulating protein retention giving bioactive characteristics to the graft.
