BioSphere MIS Putty is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. BioSphere MIS Putty is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis, and as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine and intervertebral disc space. When used in intervertebral disc space, BioSphere MIS Putty is to be used as an autograft extender with an intervertebral body fusion device cleared by FDA for use with a bone void filler. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
