DBX – CMF
 
DBX is an allograft bone void filler which is osteoconductive and has osteoinductive potential*.  Replaced by bone in approximately 6 months, DBX is ideal for a variety of applications within cleared indications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Demonstrated Bone Formation – high bone content, osteoinductive potential*, histologic verification
  • Biocompatible – inert carrier, pH-balanced, nonhemolytic
  • Unsurpassed Safety – AATB-accredited tissue bank, viral inactivation, NAT-tested
  • Stays in Place – resists movement under irrigation, maintains physical integrity
  • Easy to Use – putty, paste and mix formulations; excellent handling characteristics

* It is unknown how the osteoinductive potential, measured in the athymic mouse model or the alkaline phosphatase assay, will correlate with clinical performance in human subjects.

Indications

  • DBX is intended for use as a bone void filler for voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. It is intended for treatment of surgically or traumatically created osseous defects.
  • DBX Putty, Paste and Mix are intended for mandibular reconstruction.
  • DBX Putty and Paste are intended for the augmentation of deficient maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges and the treatment of oral/maxillofacial and dental intraosseous defects.
  • Additionally, DBX Putty is intended for osseous defects in the cranium.


Contraindications**

DBX is not intended to provide structural support of the bone during healing.  DBX is contraindicated in the following circumstances:

  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Hypercalcemia
  • Osteomyelitis at the surgical site
  • Sepsis in or around the surgical site
