genex - Catalyst for Bone Healing
genex is a catalyst for bone healing. It complements the body’s natural healing processes, enabling the optimal remodelling of bone architecture to that of native trabecular bone. In 12 months, genex is completely absorbed and remodelled while leaving no foreign artifacts to impair structural integrity.
genex is specifically formulated to provide the desired balance of scaffold strength and persistence in the body with optimum handling,
workability and remodelling.
Our proprietary recrystallisation and purification methods give genex its distinct properties and removes impurities:6
- No inflammatory pyrophosphates
- No slow and non-absorbing compounds such as hydroxyapatite
genex is a precisely balanced β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium sulfate hemihydrate compound with distinct design properties:
- Contains no hydroxyapatite (HA)
- Negatively charged surface chemistry
- Compressive strength similar to trabecular bone3-5
genex provides a powerful scaffold for accelerated bone restoration and helps to hinder soft tissue ingrowth:
- Enhances osteogenic response3
- Completely absorbed within 12 months1,2
- Several studies have concluded healthy bone is restored in a clinically relevant timeframe7-9
With one of the most comprehensive bone graft substitute systems at your fingertips, genex equips you with everything you need to adapt to the wide ranging and sometimes unpredictable demands of trauma surgery.
From difficult-to-reach sites or minimally invasive procedures, genex enables you to inject or mould the material according to your chosen technique.
genex paste and genex ds have a working time of 3 to 5 minutes and are drillable after 15 minutes. genex putty is a non-setting putty that conforms to the surgical site.
