OsteoMed LLC has announced its launch of OsteoVation Qwik, which is indicated to fill bony voids and gaps of the skeletal system.
Made of a proprietary composite of calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate granules, OsteoVation Qwik creates a macroporous construct that allows faster bone remodeling, while maintaining targeted compressive strength, according to a company press release.
The product is packaged in both impact and inject formulas that provide surgical options for traditional open, as well as minimally invasive surgical procedures. Both formulations are osteoconductive and provide a scaffold to enhance the bone growth during the healing process, according to the release.
“This new bone void filler expands our current biologic portfolio and provides surgeons with another best-in-class product from OsteoMed,” Dave Kelly, vice president of OsteoMed Small Bone Orthopedics, in Addison, Texas, stated. “OsteoVation Qwik is the perfect complementary product to our existing Small Bone Orthopedics product offering. OsteoVation Qwik provides surgeons the ability to incorporate this innovative bone void filler while using other OsteoMed products, such as ExtremiFix, our Large Cannulated Screw System, Hand Plating System and the Foot Plating System where indicated. OsteoVation Qwik is just one of several exciting new products scheduled to launch in 2013,” he stated.
