HydroSet
HydroSet represents the next generation in bone substitute technology intended for a wide variety of clinical applications in multiple surgical specialties.
As injectable, sculptable, and self-setting bone substitute, HydroSet is a calcium-phosphate cement indicated to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., extremities, craniofacial, spine, and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. HydroSet is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. HydroSet is calcium phosphate cement that converts to hydroxyapatite, the principle mineral component of bone. The crystalline structure and porosity of HydroSet makes it an effective osteoconductive and osteointegrative material, with excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties.
Features & Benefits
- HydroSet can be easily implanted via a simple injection or manual application techniques for a variety of applications.
- HydroSet has been specifically designed to set quickly once implanted under normal physiological conditions.
- HydroSet does not release any heat as it sets.
- HydroSet is chemically formulated to set in a wet-field environment, eliminating the need to meticulously dry the operative site prior to implantation.
- The composition of hydroxyapatite closely matches that of bone mineral thus imparting osteoconductive properties.
- HydroSet can be drilled and tapped to accommodate the placement of provisional hardware during the surgical procedure.
