The Novabone Jumbo Dispenser is required. Sold separately.
Pack contains 4 individually wrapped cartridges. NB Putty has bimodal particle distribution of Calcium Phosphosilicate (CPS) (active ingredient) with Polyethylene Glycol as an additive and Glycerin as a binder. The volume of the active ingredient is approximately 70%. The putty format allows easier manipulation due to its format and eliminates the need for any preparation prior to placement. Putty does not set like a cement. CPS has a transient haemostatic effect providing a comfortable environment for the clinician to work with. It encourages clot stabilisation and promotes healing. Putty has good retention and can be adapted to the defect shape. Putty is radio-dense and can be visualised on radiographs. Upon implantation it appears as a mass at the defect site which can be differentiated from surrounding bone by the lack of trabecular pattern. Over time, with bone remodelling, the graft area appears analogous to the natural bone in the region. Putty has around a 4 year shelf life, does not need refrigeration but caution should be exercised at temperatures higher than 45 degrees C. The diameter of the cannula is 2.8mm.
