BAB - Demineralized Bone Matrix Powder
Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) is produced from ground cortical bone and contains osteoinductive proteins. It is intended to be used to fill bone defects and cavities.
BAB - Putty
H-GENIN Putty is intended for use as a demineralized bone matrix for voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Putty is indicated for the treatment of surgically created bone defects or bone defects created from traumatic injury. H-GENIN Putty provides a moldable consistency and can be mixed with blood or bone marrow.
BAB - Crush-Mix
H-GENIN Crush-Mix is intended for use as a demineralized bone matrix for voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Putty is indicated for the treatment of surgically created bone defects or bone defects created from traumatic injury. H-GENIN Crush-Mix provides a moldable consistency and can be mixed with blood or bone marrow.

Cem-Ostetic - Neutral pH Bone Putty
Cem-Ostetic® is a neutral pH bone putty that contains biocompatible calcium salts that have been used for decades in orthopedic surgery. These materials are often used to provide an additional source of bone to help the patient heal faster. Berkeley Advanced Biomaterials formulates the chemistry and microstructure to enhance bone regeneration, provide optimal osteo-conduction, and reduce the time for the bone to regain its full health. Cem-Ostetic®’s unique putty formula sets up quickly with marginal exothermic reaction (less than 4C). A kit to form putty into beads is also available.
Bi-Ostetic - Bioactive Glass Foam
Bi-Ostetic Bioactive Glass Foam™ is a sterile bone graft composed of highly purified fibrillar Type I bovine collagen, 45S5 bioactive glass granules and Bi-Ostetic™ resorbable 60% hydroxyapatite and 40% tricalcium phosphate granules. It functions as an osteogenic stimulus to which the patient’s bone marrow can be added to, prior to implantation. Bi-Ostetic Bioactive Glass Foam™ is safe and has excellent biocompatibility. After it is implanted, it resorbs and is later replaced by natural bone. Bi-Ostetic Bioactive Glass Foam™ is a natural choice for sparing patients the trauma of autograft harvesting.
