InterOss® is a natural hydroxyapatite bone grafting material derived from Australia bovine bone (BSE free).
This highly purified osteoconductive material is produced from natural bone through a multi-step purification process. Its natural origin makes InterOss® chemically and structurally comparable to mineralized human bone (nanocrystalline natural apatite).
InterOss® is available in granule form. It is supplied sterile and is dedicated for single use.
The presence of a macroporous structure favors cell ingrowth, while the micropores allow the penetration of body fluids into the implant. The microporosity can also be used to manipulate resorption and dissolution rate: the greater the microporosity, the greater the degradation rate.
The pore structure and interconnected pore system of InterOss® allow the grafting material to act as a guide for body fluids, growth factors, blood vessel, bone marrow, and bone cells.
