What is it indicated for?
Apaceram TM Bone Graft Substitute is a synthetic hydroxyapatite provided in several particulate and shaped sizes. It is intended for use as a bone void filler for bony voids, gaps, or defects that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. ApaceramTM is intended to be placed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. extremities, spine, or pelvis) caused by degeneration, trauma or surgery. It also can be used with autograft as a bone graft extender. ApaceramTM is resorbed and replaced with bone during the healing process.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
