Product Details

A sterile, biocompatible synthetic mineral with collagen bone graft material for use in periodontal, oral and maxillofacial surgery. Convenient bullet-shape for use in guided-bone regeneration procedures The GIBSON Plug is a calcium phosphate-based mineral with a synthetic carbonate apatite structure which is like natural bone. The similarity in structure between the Gibson Healthcare® Synthetic mineral and natural anorganic bone mineral mimics natural bone as shown in vivo resorption and remodeling profile. The low crystallinity of carbonate apatite supports bioresorption and the synthetic mineral has been shown to increase the bone forming activities of osteogenic cells as well as enhance bioresorption of bone by osteoclasts. Gibson Healthcare® Synthetic Mineral Collagen Plug is approximately 80% mineral combined with 20% Type I Achilles bovine tendon collagen. Key Features -Supports new bone formation at surgical / implantation site -Synthetic mineral with type I Collagen in an easy-to-handle bullet-shape ideal for filling bone voids (eg. extractions) and preserving the alveolar ridge -Expands to fill socket site when hydrated to maintain space and minimize particle migration -No mixing required Advantages - Osteoconductive, - Highly porous, 3D structure for bone forming cells - Carbonate apatite + Type I Collagen for easy handling Unit size             Size                                        Item number box                        10mm x 20mm                  5824-413              box                         6mm x 25mm                     5824-404 Room temperature storage, three-year shelf life
