CERAMENT BONE VOID FILLER helps in the management of foot and ankle cases;
Remodels into bone within 6 -12 months
Injectable
Flowable
Radiopaque
Foot and ankle bone defects that are the result of trauma, tumors and deformity-correction surgery all require management, and are particularly challenging in patients with decreased bone quality or poor vascular perfusion, which make defect healing and metalwork fixation more difficult.
CERAMENT BONE VOID FILLER remodels into host bone within 6-12 months, reducing the risk of re-fracture and improving long-term fixation.
In foot and ankle defects access can be difficult, and bone voids may be underestimated on imaging, so CERAMENT BONE VOID FILLER offers injectability through a 16G needle, flowability and radiopacity, making it ideal for either open or percutaneous surgery and offering complete void filling.
