prp-kit-min

PRP Kit

PurePRP® is a proprietary form of autologous platelet rich plasma developed by our supplier. It contains a complex composition of cellular components derived from your blood biologic that can be used to treat and repair a host of injuries and conditions. It is the cornerstone of the consortium of regenerative therapies used in modern medicine and rapidly becoming a standard of care. It’s chosen over surgery for many conditions, ranging from degenerative joint disease, to tendon and ligament injuries because its regenerative power is shown to play an adjunctive role in clinical outcomes.

cancellous-chips-4

Crushed Cancellous Chips

Designed to fill bony voids or gaps, providing a scaffold for bone ingrowth with the patient’s own bone. A ready-to-use alternative to autograft for bone regeneration, cancellous crushed bone chips can be used to augment autologous cancellous or corticocancellous grafts and used in craniofacial surgery, spinal fusion, hand and foot surgery, joint reconstruction and fracture repair. Easy to use Quick preparation Room temperature storage

cortical-sheets-4

Cortical Sheets

A slim, pliable demineralized cortical allograft bone sheet can be shaped using scissors or a scalpel when hydrated. It withstands sutures and can be tacked into place. Due to its flexible nature and inherent body can easily be inserted into a periosteal pouch without total refection and maintain bone contour. It is verified to be osteoinductive post-sterilization using in-vivo testing to demonstrate, histologically, the five elements of bone formation: chondrocytes, osteocytes, bone marrow, cartilage, and new bone formation.
