Products
Lyophilized bone particulate
Sponge cancellous bone particulate, lyophilized; granulometry ranges (approx. 250–1680 μm); vials in small-volume presentations.
Demineralized bone matrix (particulate)
Cortico-cancellous demineralized bone matrix, particulate and lyophilized; used as bone graft substitute.
Lyophilized membranes (amniochorionic and ophthalmic)
Amniochorionic and ophthalmic membranes provided lyophilized in multiple sizes for dental, dermatologic and ophthalmologic applications.
Frozen structural grafts and cortical tables/blocks
Frozen cortical and cortico-cancellous structural grafts for large-segment reconstructions; stored at -80°C.
Osteochondral cylinders and meniscal grafts
Osteochondral cylinders for mosaicplasty (e.g., 10 mm × 20 mm) and processed menisci with bony attachments for shaping to fit recipient anatomy.
Tendon grafts
Multiple tendon allografts (patellar, hamstring, Achilles, quadriceps, peroneal and upper-limb tendons) with optional bone plugs.
