THE Graft™ is a natural, porcine bone mineral matrix for bone reconstruction. It is produced by removal of all organic components from porcine bone.
Due to its native structure THE Graft™ likens the physical and chemical aspects
of mineralized matrix of human bone. When packed into a bone defect, THE Graft™ gradually resorbs and replaced with bone during the healing process.
It is available in cancellous granules packaged in vial. THE Graft™ is sterilized using gamma irradiation.
THE Graft™ Biocompatibility
THE Graft™ is structurally similar to human bone. It has high possible level of porosity combined with a natural interconnectivity.
Safe & Biocompatible
The combination of porcine origin with the high level of purity enables predictable bone growth without risking an immunogenic reaction.
In an In-Vitro study THE Graft™ was shown to encourage cell adhesion to the same extent as the compared DBBM (Deproteinized bovine bone matrix), and therefore offering optimal conditions for vital cell growth.
- Porosity is an important factor in determining tissue-implant material integration.
- High porosity leads to a quicker absorption of liquids and cells spreading.
- THE Graft™ provides the optimized bone architecture for cells adhesions and tissue regeneration.
«Safety and purity are an important concern when using a biomaterial»
Is THE Graft™ safe material?
Proprietary virus inactivation process technology.
Thanks to highly efficient manufacturing process, THE Graft™ is free from any organic components that might be potential causes of infection or immune reaction. In addition the unique process helps preserve the physical properties of THE Graft™ with its native osseous structure.
A large surface area is a key requirement for graft materials, and not only results in a larger surface region available for osteoblast cells attachment but also facilitates the exchange of nutrients and waste products, it allows greater amounts of blood, proteins, and growth factors to be absorbed
onto the scaffold.
THE Graft has a high purity.
The analysis result minimal residual protein, soft tissue, and organic bone matrix, proves that THE Graft™ is deproteinized enough for safe use.
Other than THE Graft™, such low values for organic residues are only found with bone graft material treated at high temperatures which may cause the detriment of the natural bone structure.
THE Graft™ High Porosity
High porosity and early remodeling improve clinical performance
The high porosity of THE Graft™ means a quicker absorption of fluids (e.g; blood) in comparison with DBBM. This not only facilitates the application of the material but also leads to early remodelling and improved clinical performance.
High level of porosity was demonstrated with particle pore structure test, particle size distribution test and total porosity tests.
- Macropores (diameter > 100μm), are necessary to form blood vessels and induce both bone growth and reorganization around the graft material.
- Micropores (diameter <10 μm), are required for the penetration of body fluids, ion transportation, the attachment of osteoblasts, and the precipitation of newly formed HA.
- Nanopores are characterized by dimension of less than 100 nanometers pores size between grains. Nano-porosity increases bone graft permeability to the physiological fluids and cells adhesion.
