Norian CRS
 
Norian CRS (Craniofacial Repair System) is a self-setting calcium phosphate bone cement used to fill defects in the restoration or augmentation of the craniofacial skeleton.  Norian CRS Bone hardens in vivo to form carbonated apatite, a composition closely resembling the mineral phase of bone.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Injectable and moldable for remote, deep and onlay applications
  • Isothermic hardening prevents thermal injury to surrounding soft tissue
  • Hardens in approximately 10 minutes in a warm, wet environment, eliminating the need to control moisture at the operative site
  • Cures to a maximum compressive strength of ~ 50 MPa (7,250 psi) within 24 hours
  • Provides an osteoconductive scaffold that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process

Indications

  • Indicated for repairing or filling craniofacial defects and craniotomy cuts with a surface area no larger than 25 cm2
  • Indicated for the restoration or augmentation of bony contours of the craniofacial skeleton, including the fronto-orbital, malar and mental areas

Contraindications

  • Should not be used in the spine
  • Should not be used in the presence of active or suspected infection

 * For complete contraindications, adverse events, and cautions, please see the complete Directions for Use.
