What is it indicated for?
α-BSM Bone Substitute Material is indicated for 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. α-BSM Bone Substitute Material is a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
