BioMold ® Putty Composition
BioMold ® Putty Composition
Weight: ~80% bioactive glass spheres; ~20% phospholipid carrier
Volume: 95-100% of the bulk volume consists of bioglass spheres (carrier fills up the volume in between particles)
BioGlass Concentration: ~1.5 g of bioactive glass per cc of Putty
Comparison to BioGlass Bone Graft Sheets
Sheets are composed of bioactive glass particles that are suspended in a porous scaffold (typically composed of collagen)
Due to porosity, bone graft sheets have a much lower density (0.25 - 0.40 g/cc) than Biomold Putty (~1.9g/cc)
Bioglass concentration (grams of bioglass per ccof graft) ofis the accurate way of comparing bioglass content.
BioMold® Putty has the highest bioglass content of any bone graft putty or sheet on the market.
10cc of BioMold putty (1.Sg/cc, 90% bioactive glass) contains
- 15g of bioglass
vs.
10cc of a bone graft sheet (0.4 g/cc, 88% bioglass) contains
- 3.5g of bioglass
