OsteoCure™ Resorbable Wedges (OCW) use PolyGraft® material technology and are porous, resorbable scaffolds composed of polylactide-co-glycolide (PLG) copolymer for providing structure and calcium sulfate for enhancing bone growth. The copolymer is amorphous (noncrystalline) and resorbs in four to eight months. In addition, polyglycolide (PGA) fibers are incorporated for strength, and surfactant is added to allow fluids to be easily absorbed into the scaffolds.
Wedges available in three (3) angle and height configurations to integrate into the surgical site (see Dimension Information for angle and height specifications)
Porous scaffold with mean pore size of 500-600 µm and 75% total porosity for tissue ingrowth
Hydrophilic properties to absorb blood, marrow, cells, and proteins
Easily trimmed at time of surgery using mechanical hand instruments
scaffolding architecture mimics natural bone
Fiber orientation provides improved strength
OsteoCure Wedge implants are indicated for use in filling bony voids or gaps caused by trauma or surgery that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.
