What is it indicated for?

CaP 3 Bone Substitute Material is an implantable bone graft, that is a synthetic, calcium phosphate, poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite material intended for use in filling bone voids or defects of the skeletal system (such as the extremities, spine and pelvis) that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. CaP 3 Bone Substitute Material is a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
