Product Description
NuOss is a natural, porus bone mineral matrix, produced by the removal of all organic components from bovine bone. Due to its natural structure, NuOss is physically and chemically comparable to mineralized matrix of human bone.
Clinical studies of similar bone graft materials have shown improved results when used in conjunction with a barrier membrane, such as RCM6 (Resorbable Collagen Membrane.)
The anorganic bone matrix of NuOss has macro and microscopic structures similar to human bone. Due to this trabecular architecture with interconnecting macro and micro pores, the ingrowth of new vascularity and bone at the site of grafting is optimized. NuOss may be used with autogenous bone where there is insufficient quantity of bone to fulfill the needs of the proposed surgical procedure.
The sieve analysis of NuOss is similar in particle size distribution as Bio-Oss®
NuOss and Bio-Oss® have a similar bone fill volume for cortical and cancellous bone mineral respectively.
INDICATIONS for USE
NuOss is recommended for:
• Augmentation of the alveolar ridge.
• Filling of infrabony periodontal defects.
• Filling of extraction sockets.
• For use in elevating the maxillary sinus floor.
