NuOSS® Granules A New Generation of Bone Regeneration
N
uOss® natural cancellous (spongiosa) and cortical bone matrix is produced by the removal of organic components from bovine bone. Due to its natural porous structure, NuOss is physically and chemically comparable to the mineralized matrix of human bone. The proprietary manufacturing process of NuOss allows for maintenance of the naturally occurring bone mineral structure, including macro and micro structures. Due to this trabecular architecture with interconnecting macro and micro pores, the ingrowth of new bone and associated vascularization at the site of grafting is optimized. NuOss may be used with autogenous bone where there is an insufficient quantity of bone to fulfill the needs of the proposed surgical procedure. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. John Guariglia of Suffolk Oral Surgery Associates, LLP, of Brentwood, Stony Brook, Smithtown, and Holbrook, New York, has been using NuOss for approximately 10 years for a myriad of applications, “from implants to socket preservation, to bone regeneration procedures. I also use it for treating pathology such as tumors and cysts. Depending upon the lesion, I enucleate it, mix NuOss with alloOss® allograft and platelet-rich plasma and pack the defect.”
Dr. Guariglia explains that NuOss is his bone regeneration material of choice because “It is a great value; it adheres to the instruments, and it is NuOss® 50x magnification very easy to use. Also, it’s available in all sizes I need for a majority of my procedures.” NuOss® features: The results from NuOss are quick and Handling: The structure of NuOss aids effective. Dr. Guariglia describes, “For in particulate hydration and delivery of the example, I grafted bone for a patient 2 product to the defect. months ago, and now, his implants show Particle Distribution: NuOss maximizes maximum torque. No complaints. I was the distribution of the preferred particle sizing able to place implants in these grafts in 2 within desired ranges. months, and I have solid bone to work with. Particle Structure and Porosity: NuOss That shows me that NuOss permits solid maintains the high porosity and trabecular bone growth.” structure of natural mineralized bone and maximizes the potential for angiogenesis.
