Characteristics
Apatos is a biocompatible(1,2), osteoconductive(3,4) biomaterial of heterologous origin with characteristics similar to mineralized human bone(5); it can therefore be used as an alternative to autologous bone. The natural microporous consistency of Apatos facilitates the formation of new bone tissue in bone defect area(6), accelerating the process. Apatos microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is available in cortical and mixed granules. • Tissue origin : Apatos Mix: cortico-cancellous heterologous bone mix Apatos Cortical: heterologous cortical bone • Tissue collagen : Degraded
