chronOS® BONE VOID FILLER Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (b-TCP) bone graft substitute chronOS® BONE VOID FILLER OSTEOCONDUCTIVE • RESORBABLE • SYNTHETIC chronOS® Granules and Preforms are synthetic, porous, osteoconductive, resorbable calcium phosphate bone substitutes, which can replace autogenous bone. chronOS Bone Graft Substitute eliminates the need for autologous bone harvesting, thus reducing overall patient morbidity. chronOS Granules and Preforms are manufactured in a clean-room environment from a biocompatible, radiopaque material, beta-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP). This material contains two of the main mineral constituents of bone, calcium and phosphorous. chronOS Bone Graft Substitute has been clinically used in Europe for more than 20 years under the name CEROS 82. Replaced with bone in 6 to 18 months, chronOS Bone Graft Substitute is suitable for many bone void filler applications. Due to its synthetic manufacturing process, chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate shows reliable and standardized biomechanical properties. The compressive strength of chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate averages ~5 MPa, and is similar to that of human cancellous bone. Postoperative, 6 weeks Postoperative, 12 months High tibial osteotomy treated with a proximal tibial plate and chronOS Preforms (Dr. Wymengy, Nijmegen, Netherlands) DePuy Synthes Trauma chronOS Bone Void Filler INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS Indications chronOS is indicated for use in bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. chronOS is indicated for use in the treatment of bony defects created surgically or through traumatic injury. chronOS is intended to be gently packed or placed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, spine, and pelvis) and may be combined with autogenous blood and/or bone marrow. Following placement into the bony void, chronOS resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. Contraindications* chronOS should not be used in: x The presence of infection, e.g. inflammatory, bacterial bone diseases (post-traumatic or chronic osteomyelitis) and soft-tissue infections x Defects in the region of unclosed epiphyseal cartilage (i.e., fractures of the growth plate) x Segmental defects of long bones x Areas which are subjected to excessive impact or stress x Areas where there is significant vascular impairment proximal to the graft site x The presence of metabolic or systemic bone disorders that affect bone or wound healing * For complete indications, contraindications, adverse events, and cautions, please see the complete Directions for Use. chronOS Bone Void Filler DePuy Synthes Trauma FEATURES Biocompatible Histologic verification: Simultaneous resorption and new bone formation Biocompatibility is defined as a material’s property to be compatible with a biological system. The biocompatibility chronOS osteoblasts Beta-Tricalcium depends primarily on the material’s chemical composition, (dark blue) Phosphate (gray) its three-dimensional structure, and its surface topography. osteoid (blue) bone (purple) Bone is a composite material consisting mainly of calcium and phosphate, the two main components of chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate. Calcium phosphate minerals have been widely used as bone substitute materials. chronOS Bone Graft Substitute is made from pure b-TCP and is free of any cytotoxic effects. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate meets the requirements of ASTM standard F1088, “Standard Specification for Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for Surgical Implantation.” In addition, chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate has passed tests for biocompatibility. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate at 12 weeks, in a rabbit critical-sized defect model in the advanced stages of resorption. The remaining material is interwoven with osteoid and mineralized bone. Osteoblasts and osteoid seams are visible. DePuy Synthes Trauma chronOS Bone Void Filler Features Engineered for osteoconductivity 35 30 Provides scaffold To facilitate the bone healing process, bone void fillers should % 25 at least be osteoconductive. This is mainly influenced by 20 three factors: overall porosity, interconnection of macropores, 15 and presence of micropores. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium 10 Distribution Phosphate thas been designed to optimize these features 5 so that it can closely mimic cancellous bone and provide an 0 ideal scaffold for bony infiltration. The compressive strength 240 320 400 500 160 <100 of chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate is approximately >500 0– 0– 0– 0– 0– 16 5 MPa, which is similar to cancellous bone. 24 32 40 10 Pore Size (µm) Overall porosity Figure 1. Distribution of chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate macropores chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate has a total porosity of approximately 60% for the granules and 70% for the preforms. A high porosity enhances the osteoconductivity, although a porosity that is too high weakens the material’s compressive strength. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate benefits from the highest possible degree of porosity without compromising the mechanical strength. Macropores The macropores of chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate are mainly distributed within a range of 100 µm–500 µm (Figure 1). This offers the optimal environment for vascularization and bony infiltration.1 In addition, the 1 mm macropores are interconnected to allow bone formation Figure 2. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate macrostructure throughout the entire implant (Figure 2). Micropores chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate contains micropores, which are spaces within the material smaller than 10 µm. The microporosity increases the surface area where new bone forms and allows circulation of body fluids (Figure 3). 30 µm Figure 3. chronOS Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate microstructure2 1.
