DBX – Spine
 
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 and strip 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 may be used in the posterolateral spine.
• DBX Putty can be used as an extender in the spine with autograft.
• DBX Strip is intended for use in the posterior elements of the spine for posterolateral fusion only.

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

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