Zimmer Spine Inc. announced the U.S. market launch of Puros Demineralized Bone Matrix Block and Strip, bone graft substitutes used to stimulate natural bone formation processes in spine surgical procedures.

According to a company press release, Puros Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) allografts provide osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, improved handling and excellent graft containment in a ready-to-use application. Used alone or with a bone graft extender, Puros DBM Block and Strip are flexible and compressible once rehydrated and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to reduce transplant preparation time.

“These new Puros DBM products minimize the need for shaping during the surgical procedure, are provided sterile and have up to 5 years of shelf life,” Steve Healy, president of Zimmer Spine, stated in the release. “Adding these new DBMs to our biologics portfolio will provide surgeons with a competitive, off-the-shelf and convenient allograft at a good value to the hospital.”
