Cal-CEMEX is the innovative reinforced bone substitute with an hybrid formulation b-TCP + PMMA that facilitate bone growth and assure immediately a very high mechanical resistance.
Osteoconductivity, favoured by the ß-TCP component, is due to the material special porosity:
- Open porosity: allows fluids to penetrate inside the material, to favour bone ingrowth
- Microporosity: the bone is able to reconstitute in a more diffuse manner
- Macroporosity: macropores accomodate the new bone tissue, allowing differentiation into lamellae
Thanks to the PMMA component, Cal-CEMEX:
- Achieves maximum mechanical resistance immediately
- Maintains an unaltered volume over time
- Is a long-lasting support for bone tissue
