Is Osteoset Osteoconductive?
Is Osteoset Osteoconductive?
OSTEOSET® 2 DBM graft is a bone graft substitute incorporating demineralized bone matrix (approximately 53% by volume) into OSTEOSET® surgical-grade calcium sulfate pellets. These two bone graft materials provide a combination of osteoinduction and osteoconduction for guided bone regeneration.
What is Osteoset?
The OSTEOSET® Pellet Injector is a biocompatible, polypropylene disposable device provided pre-loaded and pre-sterilized for single patient use. The injector delivers controlled, precise, and efficient placement of the OSTEOSET® T Bone Graft Substitute Pellets.
What is Osteoset made of?
OSTEOSET® Bone Graft Pellets are made of medical grade calcium sulfate.
Are Stimulan antibiotic beads biodegradable?
Stimulan is a biodegradable, delayed-release antibiotic vehicle comprised of calcium sulfate. Antibiotics can be mixed with calcium sulfate to make beads that can be implanted into tissues, thereby releasing high local concentrations of antibiotics over 4–8 weeks [6, 7].
What is Stimulan used for?
STIMULAN is a truly absorbable calcium sulfate, specifically designed to complement surgeons’ dead space management and can be used in infected and non-infected bone sites. It offers unrivalled flexibility, precision and control in the broadest range of surgical applications.
What are antibiotics beads?
Implanted antibiotic beads are a form of microbiological treatment inserted during orthopedic procedures to aid with the treatment of chronic infection. They are also used as a local treatment for osteomyelitis. The beads are radiopaque, thus lending themselves to visualization on all imaging modalities.
What are Stimulan beads?
STIMULAN beads were used to fill the bone deficit at the fracture site. Antibiotic treatment was provided to prevent infection as the wound was contaminated.
What are antibiotic beads made of?
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), as a cement or as beads, is commonly used for antibiotic release to the site of infection but displays variable elution kinetics and also represents a potential nidus for infection, therefore requiring surgical removal once antibiotics have eluted.
How much is antibiotic beads?
The average cost of antibiotic bead treatment per patient was $419.36 for Group 1 and $484.54 for Group 2.
What are STIMULAN antibiotic beads?
What are antibiotic beads used for?
Antibiotic beads have gained wide acceptance in orthopedics in the treatment of a variety of skeletal infections due to their ability to provide high concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection while avoiding the complications associated with systemic toxicity.
What is an antibiotic bead?
Antibiotic beads are an attractive method of treatment in the management and prevention of osteomyelitis. Antibiotic beads provide high local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection without significant systemic toxicity.
