Advanced Biologics announced at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society in Chicago the release of their newest product in the OsteoAMP platform, the OsteoAMP Structural.
According to a company press release, the OsteoAMP Structural is the first load-bearing, mineralized, osteoconductive allograft spacer that demonstrates osteoinductive properties in-vivo.
The OsteoAMP Structural reportedly provides surgeons with the ability to use a single product to fulfill osteoinductive, osteoconductive and structural requirements for spine fusion, and includes parallel and lordotic options for use in cervical spine procedures. According to the release, it also reduces hospital case costs without compromising clinical costs.
The OsteoAMP process can harvest the various growth factors found in the bone marrow of an allograft donor and bind them to the surrounding bone tissue, the release noted, allowing greater osteoinductive potential than seen before within the allograft industry. It reportedly has more than 100 times the growth factors when compared with market-leading demineralized bone matrixes.
