Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits of Optecure® & Optecure®+ccc

Optecure Features

  • Osteoinductive*
  • Osteoconductive
  • Osteogenic when mixed with blood or ABG
  • Always formable
  • Resists migration from graft site
  • Each lot tested for sterility
  • DBM tested in-vivo for osteoinductivity
  • Delivered and stored dry to maintain the bioactivity of the DBM
  • Concentration studies prove optimal new bone forming potential1
  • Can be mixed one-to-one with autogenous bone
  • Hydrophilic carrier with potential to absorb and retain autogenous growth factors
  • Mix with different volumes and different diluents to create indication-specific handling requirements


Optecure Constituents

Constituents

1) Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM)

  • Optimal 81 percent concentration of DBM by dry weight1
  • Each lot tested for sterility
  • Each lot tested in-vivo for proven OI potential

2) Cortical Cancellous Bone Chips

  • 1-3.3mm size range
  • Densely packed for mechanical load sharing
  • Gamma Irradiated

3) Resorbable Hydrogel Carrier

  • Intra-operative flexibility to craft handling characteristics
  • Resistant to migration from graft site
  • Ethylene Oxide sterilized


Surgical Indications

Optecure’s cleared indications include use as a bone graft extender in the extremities, spine and pelvis or used alone as a bone void filler in extremities and pelvis.
