Silicate Additive Granule, Stick, Block & Wedge

• Safe, Biocompatible and Sterile Radiopaque Biodegradable
• Ligamed grafts are supplied sterile and CE marked as a Class III Medical Device according to 93/42 / EC directive. Biocompatibility (in vitro and in vivo), biodegradation, bioburden and sterility tests are applied to each material.
• CT and X-ray traceability is possible.
• Biodegradable with Full Resorption. With its optimized porous structure and chemical composition, Ligamed grafts are optimised for bone healing.
• During the healing process, silicate is adsorbed first followed by the ß-TCP scaffold in 4-6 months promoting replacement with native new bone.
• The high porosity of Ligamed products support initial clot stabilisation.
• Calcium phosphate provides a conductive scaffold for blood vessels and bone stimulating cells - a structure very similar to the mineral component of natural bone.
• Ligamed materials include silicate which increases circulating protein retention giving bioactive characteristics to the graft.
