PerOssal® is used for permanent filling or reconstruction
of bone defects in accident surgery, orthopedics, orthodontic and facial
surgery.
PerOssal® is a newly developed synthetic bone replacement
material with two outstanding properties. PerOssal® makes available
a bone replacement material that after surgical cleaning of the wound
can be inserted into even infected bone defects with a simultaneous
delivery of antibiotics. This means that in the future, for example,
it will be possible to select antibiotics to suit the patient’s microbiological
results and to administer them individually. The second key property
is that PerOssal® is rapidly, completely absorbable. Thus the defect
can be filled quickly with new, autogenous bone and the patient can
be spared a further operation to remove the implant. The PerOssal®
component responsible for this, a nanocrystalline hydroxylapatite, is
sold by aap mebio in Germany under the name Ostim®.
By linking bone replacement with local wound healing,
PerOssal® offers physicians a specially tailored therapeutic concept
for filling in bone defects in infected areas. The product is easy to
handle and can be combined freely with different active ingredients.
This makes it attractive for the user from an economic point of view,
too.
