• Processed through the BioCleanse^® process, lyophilized and terminally sterilized to SAL 10-6
• Machined from dense cortical bone to provide a smooth and consistent shape. Additional shaping is at the discretion of a licensed clinician.
• Remodels along with the newly placed graft.¹

Historically, titanium screws have been used in dentistry as a means of maintaining space and preventing membrane collapse at a newly grafted site. Often, the need to retrieve the screw after bone regeneration leads to the recreation of a bony defect.² In dental procedures, cortical bone pins have been used in the same way to maintain space and provide stability in the grafted site.

Allograft cortical bone pins have been used in orthopaedic surgical procedures such as bunionectomies, radius/scaphoid fixation and hand surgery.
