What is Attrax made of?

What is Attrax made of?

Attrax is a unique ceramic bone graft substitute with an optimized surface microarchitecture designed to drive bone fusion. Attrax Putty is the first and only ceramic supported by a Level I randomized controlled trial as a bone graft substitute in posterolateral lumbar fusions (PLF).

What is Attrax Putty?

Attrax Putty is a synthetic, bioactive and osteoconductive bone void filler for the repair of bone defects. This proprietary, advanced biomaterial features a surface microarchitecture which provides an instructive environment for bone formation without added cells or growth factors.

What is osteocel?

Osteocel is a premier allograft cellular bone matrix designed to mimic the biological profile of autograft. The retained cells are naturally adherent to the surface of the cancellous bone and consist of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoprogenitors, osteoblasts and other cells along the osteogenic lineage.

What is spine biologics?

Spine biologics consists of biomaterials that can be used in the treatment of degenerative disc diseases, spinal cord injuries, and bone fusion surgeries. The usage of these products has always been crucial in spine surgery. Spinal fusion is a procedure used to correct defects in small bones (vertebrae) in the spine.

Is osteocel FDA approved?

NuVasive and all establishments that process Osteocel are registered with the FDA and are accredited by the AATB.

What is Trinity bone graft?

The Trinity Evolution™ allograft is comprised of cancellous bone with viable osteogenic ​and osteoprogenitor cells retained within the matrix and a demineralized cortical bone component. The Trinity Evolution allograft offers an ideal alternative to autograft and other bone grafting options.

What are biologics in spine surgery?

The biologic material or bone graft is a critical element in the fusion healing process. A surgeon cannot perform spinal fusion without considering the biological healing of the actual fusion; the use of a biologic material or agent to promote the fusion process.

How do you use ViviGen?

Open peel pouch and aseptically present the ported graft pouch directly to a Sterile Team Member. Sterile Team Member: Completely submerge ported graft pouch in warm sterile isotonic solution. Continue thawing until the contents of the pouch flow freely (no more than 5 minutes).

What is Trinity Elite?

Trinity Elite is a cryopreserved, viable cellular allograft containing cancellous bone and demineralized cortical bone designed for surgical use by qualified health care professionals. Processed human bone has been used in a variety of surgical applications and in combination with prosthetic devices.

Does ViviGen contain stem cells?

The osteogenic property of a graft is imparted by living cells capable of producing new bone. FIGURE 3: ViviGen contains lineage-committed bone cells, including bone lining cells, osteoblasts, and osteocytes. FIGURE 2: Proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

What is one thing that the processing of ViviGen does?

The processing of Vivigen is a proprietary method that confirms the live cells within the corticocancellous matrix are preserved and combined with demineralized bone from the same donor.

What is attrax putty?

Attrax is a unique ceramic bone graft substitute with an optimized surface microarchitecture designed to drive bone fusion. Attrax Putty is the first and only ceramic supported by a Level I randomized controlled trial as a bone graft substitute in posterolateral lumbar fusions (PLF). 1

What is attrax ceramic surface?

The Attrax ceramic surface has unique microstructure and microporosity that are optimized for bone formation. The unique microarchitecture of Attrax drives the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into bone-forming osteoblasts without added growth factors.7

What is the microarchitecture of attrax?

The optimized microarchitecture of Attrax is engineered using tightly controlled parameters for a defined micropore size distribution within 0.3 to 1.1 microns. Traditional calcium phosphate materials falling outside of this specification do not possess the unique ability of Attrax to form bone consistently intramuscular defects.

Is attrax putty an effective bone graft substitute for autograft In PLF?

A multicenter, randomized, intra-patient, controlled trial investigated the efficacy of Attrax Putty as a bone graft substitute for autograft in instrumented PLF. For each patient, Attrax Putty was randomized to one side of the posterolateral spine and autograft (at least 50% iliac crest bone graft) was placed on the opposite side.
