## Indications for use
Gamma-bsm Moldable 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 (i.e. the extremities, posterolateral 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. Gamma-bsm Moldable Bone Substitute Material is a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with new bone during the healing process.
