Product Details

PreservaRidge™ Plug is a calcium phosphate-based mineral with a synthetic carbonate apatite structure which is like natural bone. The similarity in structure between the PreservaRidge™ Plug 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. The makeup of PreservaRidge™ Plug is approximately 80% mineral combined with 20% Type I Achilles bovine tendon collagen. Non-Latex Shelf Life: 913 days
