Synergy receives expanded FDA clearance for Biosphere Putty

Synergy Biomedical announced recently that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand the indications for its bone graft extender.

Synergy Biomedical’s Biosphere Putty is designed to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis.

The putty can now also be used in the posterolateral spine, providing a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process, according to a company press release.

Biosphere Putty is Synergy Biomedical’s first bone graft product that uses bioactive glass spheres, which have been shown to improve the bone-healing properties of bioactive glass, according to the press release.
