CERAFORM® synthetic bone substitute

Teknimed’s product CERAFORM® is designed to fill bone defects caused by bone trauma (e.g. tumour, trauma, disease) or surgical procedures (e.g. arthrodesis, osteotomy):

• The pellets are intended for use in procedures involving tumours or benign bone cysts (shoulder, hip, knee, foot), fractures (shoulder, knee), osteotomies (knee) and spinal fusions;
• The sticks are designed for use in case of fractures (knee, shoulder),
• Wedges are designed for use in case of fractures (knee, shoulder).

CERAFORM® synthetic bone substitute is a biocompatible and safe synthetic biphasic ceramic made of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 is a calcium phosphate similar to the mineral phosphase of bone tissue. Tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2, more soluble than HA, improves the resorption kinetics of CERAFORM®.
