What is it indicated for?

ApaPore® is used in open bone voids that may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. ApaPore® is intended for use on bone voids/gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure of the skeletal system, i.e., in the extremities, spine and pelvis.

ApaPore® is intended to be carefully packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine or pelvis). Following placement in the bony void, the synthetic bone void filler ApaPore® provides a scaffold for new mature host bone growth.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
