naturesQue MaxOss P

Xenogeneic porcine bone substitute material

naturesQue MaxOss P is obtained from porcine cancellous bone and has a large and open porosity thanks to the fine and complex trabecular structure. The free spaces are connected to one another and provide plenty of room for bone regeneration, maturation, and remodeling. The large internal surface area provides enormous potential for the adhesion of cells.

Light and airy – why large cavities are so important for bone substitute materials

Porosity is one of the most important properties of a bone substitute material. Cells can migrate into the bone substitute material through the pores and newly formed blood vessels can connect to the vascular network so that the new bone in the regeneration area is supplied with oxygen and nutrients.

Osteoblasts prefer large pore diameters [1]; the macropores of naturesQue MaxOss P are between 100 and 1000 µm in size and are therefore perfectly suited for the migration of osteoblasts. After bony integration, remodeling and adaptation of the bone to applied force need plenty of space, which is available in the highly porous structure of naturesQue MaxOss P.

naturesQue MaxOss P and bone – a permanent bond

Plenty of space for the bone – the design of naturesQue MaxOss P is derived from the trabecular network of the bone: a complex framework made up of narrow struts and rods and large interconnected spaces. This creates a large surface area onto which the osteoblasts adhere and are able to deposit the new bone matrix. In the large pores the vascularization and the remodeling of the newly formed bone can proceed undisturbed. Thus, a stable and permanent bond is formed between naturesQue MaxOss P and the new bone.

Safety

naturesQue MaxOss P is a safe bone substitute material and satisfies the requirements
in Directive 93/42/EEC

naturesQue MaxOss P put into context

Origin
  • Porcine cancellous bone
Composition
  • Mineral phase of the cancellous bone
  • Preservation of the natural content of carbonate apatite
Processing
  • Porcine bone
  • Cleaning and removal of proteins (deproteinization) using high heat
  • Washing with buffer solution
  • Measurement, screening, packaging, and sterilization
  • QA control
Application
  • Mixing with autologous bone preparations, patient blood, or saline is possible
  • Only place in direct contact with well vascularized local bone
  • Cortical bone should be manually perforated
Consistency/Feel
  • Granules are highly porous, so avoid placing pressure on the granules to prevent the fragile trabecular structure being crushed
Resorption
  • Integration into the newly formed bone
  • Slow course of resorption, superficial traces of resorption
  • Stable framework for the bone
