Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits

• Osteoconductive – OpteMx provides a scaffold for new bone growth.

• Resorbable – hydroxyapatite (HA) is known to resorb very slowly in comparison to TCP, which resorbs quickly. The rate of resorption is optimized using biphasic HA-TCP.
• Porous – human cancellous bone is 60-80 percent porous and comprised of interconnected macropores and micropores. OpteMx is 70 percent porous. Its interconnected micropores enhance fluid wicking through capillary action while macropores allow deep invasion of bone cells into the matrix.
• Proven – more than 20 years of clinical experience demonstrates host bone formation.
• Versatile – OpteMx is available in various sizes and shapes for a wide variety of applications.
